BIG SWITCH
Marlin, Shark
Join Bottle
With Teucher
BY WILLIAM B. COCHRAN

!
OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug. 49,
Here's a real fishing yarn that
puts others to shame:
Miss Charlotte Beville, Peters,
burg, Va, school teacher, was on
her first deep sea fishing excur-
sion with a party of friends.
She apparently hooked one Of
Ocean City's jet-propelled white
marlin. Worn out and hands
Iblistered after an hours tussle,
she eventually brought her catch
near the boat. But it wasn't a
marlin. Instead, Miss Beville's
catch was a giant sand shark.
Capt. Jack Carpenter. skipper Of
the Chic-E-Shan estimated the
shark weighed around 300. The
shark then broke the line and
got away.
A friend of Miss Beville, Mrs.
Franklin Perdue of Salisbury,
Md, took moving pictures of the
battle. The first reel shows the
marlin. doing its acrobatics, and
later the shark.
Capt. Carpenter figures that
the marlin was first hooked, then
the shark came along and took
a few bites off the marlin force
ing it off, and itself was hooked.
