Hunting Sharks.

A MOSG the sports OF the Ausira-
n lians, shark fishing. or. as II
might be called. shark fighting. ranks
high when the sharks are not too nu-
merous or too big. In that case the
sharks have all the fun to themselves.
An Enslishman tells how, with a
friend. he was kept busy for whole
day supplying one shark with hooks
and sinkers, The big creature would
get on the line and permit himself to
be drawn up close to the rock where
on the fishermen sat; then. biting on
the hook. he would swim slowly past. 10
and fro. as though taunting the men.
After having swallowed several hooks
and sinkers, the shark bit at large
hook chained to a stout line and was
drawn halfway on the rock. But a
wave swinging him around and
throwing the line across his jaw, he
bit IL off and escaped. Even then he
returned and carried off two more
large hooks attached TO brass wire.
When the men left the rock he WAS
swimming up and down. anxious for
more hooks and sinkers.
The most savage Of these vicious
creatures is the tiger-shark. or
wabbegong. One OF them figures In an
incident related by another English
sportsman. that illustrates the fool
hardness of man.
To miners were on a rock fishing,
| when they saw q tigsr-shark swim.
| ming In the deep hole facing them.
Half his body was above water. One
tof the miners dipped his naked foot
| In and out Of the water to bait the
monster, while the other miner stood
ready TO spear the nsh with the butt
end Of a sapling. Every now ana
then the "tiger" would rise, OPEN
mouthed, after that foot. and then
| the spearman would hit him. The by
ISLANDERS were rather diSgusted that
there was no sport. a. neither party
got the other.
The strangest feature Of this risky
fishing was that the fellow whose
naked foot was the bait had already
been lamed by a tiger shark. He had
caught a wabbegong and. after kill

kicks While kicking the sharks nose.
