The captain was sailing the bay in a bugeye, watching over the work of his men when he noticed a great commotion in the water and some of his fishermen apparently battling for life. He bore down on the spot and he and his crew assisted in killing the shark which had already wounded five men. The fish when hauled aboard the vessel was found to measure 26 feet from nose to tailtip. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
