story VIII
oeople involved but this tale
tSo1es from a source | never
love had reason to doubt.
III Tone you will find room to
noes rlrr it along :. It seems as
+Sopgh my friend was out
Gsbing with members of his
FAMILY and friends and they
bad intended to 90 some
s,harking--but I think I should
add it was turn-about before
+he day ended.
Things were going along peace
4,1lv out there in the deep water
ra,,. n.ec huge fin cut through the
.rea where they were fishing.
without warning, the shark sank
u. teeth into the stern of my
I frisnd's small motor boat. I don't
have to tell you that CONSERVATION
reioned as the shark tugged and
r.nked all the while sinking his
4se+b deeper into the tail-end of
+Ss craft My friend did not lose
his head. and casting around for
came means to defeat the pur-
rosp Of the shark, he noticed the
exhaust pipe was inclined in the
saark's mouthful of boat. Quickly
ohe started the motor with the in
tantion Of asphyxiating the shark.
Relieve it or not the idea worked.
y took several minutes, but the
shark was driven off and my friend
1as the boat, its stern a mass of
splinters, TO prove his story. I
guess you would call that tale, all
over the seawaves.'
Sincerely yours,
'Liston King"
Thanks. Liston. And honestly,
we believe you!

A short but friendly greeting from
W. W. Bell as he strolled up Prin-
