MAN EATER WAITED TOO LONG
Shark Seemed TO Play Win Rescued
Man as Cat Might Play With
Mouse.

How Abdullah Axis, a Mohammc-
dan fireman on board the British
steamship Baron Ogilvy, in Balti-
more loading grain destined for ports
in France, was saved from a shark
when he jumped overheard while the
vessel was in the Red sea, was told
by the officers who beat off the shark
and rescued the man in one Of the
ships boats. Abdulla shipped on the
vessel at Calcutta to toss coal into the
furnaces.
After several daysof the work the
intense heat affected his mind, and
on the afternoon of September 2,
when the ship was off Alden in the
Red sea, he rushed up on deck and
plunged overheard. The officers saw
him leap and after throwing a life
belt the ship was hove to. Chief
Officer A. G. Bally and Third Officer
E. Coulthart, with volunteer crew,
manned a lifeboat and fastened to
Abdulla's assistance.
To the horror of those watching
the rescue, a huge shark was seen
playing around the man, but for
some unaccountable reason it did not
attack Abdulla, who managed to sus-
tain himself by the life belt until
the rescuers arrived. When the man
was being dragged into the boat the
shark swept dangerously near, appar-
emily angered because its prey had
escaped.

Eldora, Feb. 16-Alfred Modlin. ltv-
ing a few miles south and east OF this
city, enjoys a unique distinction In the
fact that for thirty-one years he has
filed the Office OF school director for
his district without Interruption and
has given satisfaction to a majority OF
the patrons Of the school. The office
of director Is not an enviable one in
many respects. for II carries with 1t
many responsibilities. II the director
hires a certain teacher some one Is
apt to say that he did 1t from Interior
motives and II he should see fit to put
some other teacher in charge OF the
school some other fellow Is apt to as
sert that the director was moved by
partially. But in Mr.. Modin's case he
has been able to do the work of d.
rector without being charged OF
greater offense than an average fair
minded citizen. In addition to his work
as director and overseer Of large
farm, Mr.. Motllin Is one OF the three
