NORTHERN BEACHES RAIDED
Government Takes a aHnd In
Fight 10 EXterminate Deep
Sea Monsters-No Cause for
Alarm Among the Bathers,
Says Bulletin.

Although the bathing beaches along
the New Jersey and New York coasts
are deserted practically cn account of
the appearance of sharks in shallow
waters, there is little or no alarm
here and the beaches at ST. Simons
island are expected to be as popular
today as ever.
The sharks in local waters cause
nothing more than pastime and YES.
terday several large ones were caught
at Ocean pier. one of them said to
measure nearly six feet In length.
The sharks caught here are Of the or.
binary variety and there IL not a
case on record when one Of ahe big
sea denizens attacked human being
at st. Simons beach.
A few Of the more timid ones have
been eagerly asking If there is any
danger from sharks in the local wa
tG'ts since the raids on the mci.e
northern coasts have come into the
limelight. Various authorities were
interviewed yesterday and all agreed
that they had never heard of q per-
sen being injured or even threatened
by man eater anywhere near Bruns-
wick or the pleasure resorts near this
city
The raids on the northern resorts
are declared unusual and were proba-
bly, caused by the fish becoming fam
ished. Or perhaps they were driven
into tho coast by some oceanic dis.
turbance. At any rate there has
been no signs of man-eating sharks
in local waters and the best authori-
ties rdicnle the idea that there is the
slightest danger from shark here. 1t
is pointed out furthet that st. Simons
beach enjoys unusual protection from
deep sea monsters because of the
Brunswick bar abou. seven miles out.
