|Man-Eating Shark
Caught Sunday By
Party Boat Grew

Winter visitors and guests aboard
Captain Tommy Lone's Party Boat
the "George Bates" were treated
to a very special sight on Sunday
when Tommy with the help of his
first mate Dick and several other
fisherman succeeded in capturing
a 400 pound "dusky shark Of the
man-eating variety.
The George Bates" was fishing
just off the reef on the Atlantic
s;f'n of Key West in hopes of
catching q big jewish or even a
king. Using small yellow tail as
bait, kingfish weighing over IS
pounds was landed. Soon after that,
using another yellowtail, Tommy
felt a terrific tug on his line. He
couldn't tell at first just what he
had, but soon the big fellow sur.
faced, and all aboard were treated
to a sight not often seen. The
shark was hooked on a regular
hand line and small hook used
generally for Jewish or king, and
it would have been impossible for
a man to land him. He was play.
ed up to the surface near the boat
and stunned with an airgun. Then
he was gated and tied to the
back of the boat, and towed back
to shore where it took three men
to haul him out for view of the
interested crowd who always
gathered when the boats come in
at five p. m.
The big fish is still on display
on the Boulevard, but not for
long, sunshine and insects being
what they are. But Tommy will
keep the big teeth and jaws for
long remembrance until the next
one is caught.
