He brought back long string OF
fish stories.

friends last night. land just as
was getting drowsy little. up
sticks the wick eldest looking head Of
II shark you ever saw. He grabbed
board eye. / made 4 frantic pull at
tho line. for I am noted for my cool
ness in the presence of sharks. and
to my surprise, the big man-cater let
mo pull him along. And In a mo-
ment ] saw what it was You know
sharks do not like sea scrpcnts. and
this shark was no exception to the
rule. About forty-nve feet astern
there was the biggest and most awe
inspiring sea scrpcnt's head sticking
UP about ten feet In the air. You
could see his tail wagElins about
two hundred feet abaft Of the
soucast of the southern neck Of
the island. The tall was splattering
like covey Of cartridges when a
weasel gets after them or. you
might say. IT reminded me OF the
way n grizzly bear shakes a giant
oak when his quarry is hid in the
upper branches.
Well anyway. l grabbed my
trusty rife which lay beside me on
the Eunwale, and before / had time
to count three l had struck that sea
serpent between the eyes. He
dropped into the surEing waves. ut
tered 4 sort OF wailing whoop. and
shot out toward the deep blue sea.
When the shark saw tho dreaded sea
serpent making for deep water. he
let go my hook and disappeared in
the opposite direction. had my
men row out after the sea serpent.
but We couldn't catch UP with 1t. ID
like to have brought him home to
