by which the road is

would be no need of levying of

It was noon next day before tried

men began to whisper about Occident

up a blunderbuss with slugs and
took a fair shot at the low. He was
only about a foot below surface,
and the heavy charge struck him at
the base of tho dorsal On and nearly
tore it away. The shark made a sud-
den rush, but only for a few feet. The
smoke bad not yet blown away When
he resumed his old position. His start
was one of surprise instead of pain.
He had learned caution, however, and
be sank down until lie hail two foot of
water over him. Some of the men

great splashing, but the shark paid no

For nine long days night he

There was no shark hook aboard,
but the captain, being willing to divert
the crew, gave them leave to throw
over a lot of pork which bad become
unfit for eating. There were four full
barrels of this pork, and it was fed out
piece by piece to that till the
last pound was it was so stated
by officers and men, and there is no
reason to doubt their veracity.
When the pork was finished, a piece
of beef was thrown over the port rail,
and the shark dived under the ship
and seized it. How much longer he
would have gone on eating no one
could say, as there was no more to
give He seemed to be as raven-
for the last piece as for the first.
How one shark could hold all that
meat and go eight days with-

for discussion.

She had a crew of six men

The craft had no cargo in her and bad

with a sea. and instead of being
left on deck had gone down the hatch-
