ten miles north Of this CITY and not far
from Beach Haven, Is literally alive
with man-eatnR sharks. according to

George Robinson claims to have
counted fifteen big black nns at ono
time while he was fishinK from q motor
boat. and says that many anglers
pulled ND their lines and spent the
greater part Of the afternoon shooting
at the living targets with gums and re-
volvers.
A party on q small skin near tho
place where Robinson was fishinR had
an exciting experience. They had
caught dog shark about two
feet long and cast II back into the
water. An instant later 4 huge man.
eater ripped past their boat at a rate
OF speed sufficient to have crushed the
skin II he had not sweryed his course
by little more than q foot.
Old-time fishermen believe the pres.
ence Of swarms OF sharks on shore and
In the inside bays and inlets Is due to
the scarcity of menhaden. a variety of
fish used for fertilixed and by-products.
These nsh. which formerly furnished
fod for sharks. have been scarce for. a
year or more. and old-timers say the
man-eaters are literally starving. Vtr-
