Porpoise Killed Shark.

How a bottle-nosed dolphin, a por-
poise commonly called the seahog.
slew a 6-foot shark, is described by
Galveston (Texas) fishermen. who say
they witnessed the killing from The
causeway which connects Galveston is
land with the mainland.
The seahog. according to the books,
is a "most sociable and gregarious fish,"
but these fishermen declared there was
nothing sociahle about this dolphin.
When the shark was within a few feet
Of the porpoise the fishermen saw the
seahog charge, a gray streak in the
water. 1t struck the shark s~quarely
amidships, they declare, ripped it open
and then tore the body into pieces.
The theory of the fishermen Is that
the pcrpoise fought to protect Its
single Young one, which the shark was
menacing.
