An Heroic Fight.

From far-off Australia comes
story OF heroism that commands at
tention. 1t IL that of an eighteen.
year-oid boys courageous bare-harded
fght with a twelve-foot man-eating
shark to save his companion from it's
attack. Stanley Gibbs was swimming
with his young pal. Mervyn Alum.
Suddenly the latter was dragged under
the surface. Without hesitating an
instant, although he knew what had
happened, Gibbs dived down to do
battle with the shark. In a mad
struggle that followed Gibbs actually
got himself astride the animal and
pummeled with hands and feet. and
while he did not infiict any particular
damage. the surprise Of the attack
and the novel manner of it finally
caused the fish to release its victim.
The fact that young Alum died from
his wounds on the way to the hospital
detracts none from the glory OF Gibbs
accomplishment. And In recognition
