SHARK BITES MAN
 IN AUTOMOBILE
Factory Worker at Honolulu Goes Shark Fishing and Secures u
 Twelve-FOOt Specimen.

HONOLULU, T. H., Sept. 27-Hon- olulu has probably the only man who was ever bitten by a shark in an auto mobile. If the sentence is confusing it is nevertheless correct. for both the man and the shark were in the auto at one and the same time.
 Carl Nakuina, an employe of To- cal poi factory, went to the shores of the island to fish. He had better luck than he anticipated for he hooked a 12-foOt shark.
 After a long struggle he got the fish near enough to shore to shoot it and it turned upon it's back apparently a good shark.
 Nakuina and two companions pro ceeded to load the shark into an auto with the avowed intention of bringing it to Honolulu to prove their prowess as fishermen. The two others stood on the ground and showed the shark head-first into the machine, while Nakuina pulled on his head.
 Just as the big fish was nearly into the machine it opened it's jaws and gave one snap-with the mans arm between them. The arm was badly lacerated the flesh being partly strip ped from the bone. Nakuina was rushed to the city and his wounds were dressed at the emergency hospi- tai.
