While the American hark Kockrt. from New York to Man taw, was tying lieealmed on the equator a shark 34 feet long suddenly appeared on her starboard side amidships and only a few yards away. He lay head and tail with the ship, and the carpenter got his length to an ineh by measurements along the rail.

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.

It hits been argued by stunt* that a shark follows tt ship to get the fond thrown overboard. This cannot la* true, lx ■cause the waste from the cook’s galley for a week would not make him one square meal, and Ivecuuse he will often refuse the foixl thrown over to hint. Others have argued that he Ix-lievcs the ship to la- a |Te:it fish, anti his curiosity is aroused. Though a hard headed fellow, the shark has more sense than that. Why he follows on as he does is a question nobody has yet solved to the sailor’s satisfaction, and for this reason he may consistently thrust forward his own views on the

subject.

In the year 1^70 [ shipped aboard the English brig Knby for a voyage from London to Ceylon, calling tit the island of Mauritius, off the east coast of Madagascar. From London to the island not a single shark was sighted. Thirty miles off the island as the voyage was resumed a shark judged to he 20 feet long suddenly appeared on the port quarter not over I i feet from the side of the vessel. The dorsal fin on Ins back showed above water like a palm leaf fan. The weather was fine and our captain easy going, and lie gave the crew jiertnission to catch the monster. The shark appeared at about 51 o'clock in the morning. We waited until 4 in the afternoon to let him get a got id appetite and then offered him a 10 pound piece of pork on a hook. Time and again the bait was drawn within a foot of his nose, but he paid no attention to it. We changed to beef, but lie would not touch it. The captain gave ns a chicken from one of the coops, but after two hours we gave it up. It was argued that if he staid by us during the night we should hook him next day. but we were mistaken in that. It was a quiet night, and not for one minute did the monster leave ns. He did not come a foot nearer nor widen the distance hy a foot. Whenever the man at the wheel turned his head, there was the luminous body of the shark on the quarter, keeping pace with the brig without seeming to move a fin. It was noon next day before we tried the shark again, but we had no better luck. Ho simply ignored the bait. T»he men began to whisper about accident and death, and the captain brought up a blunderbuss loaded with slugs and took a fiiir shot at the fellow. He was only about a foot below t he surface, and the heavy charge struck him at the base of the dorsal fin and nearly tore it away. The shark made a sudden rush, but only for a few feet. The smoke had 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 he sank down until he hail two foot of water over him. Borne of the men dropped objects over the bow with a great splashing, but the j shark paid no attention to the noise. For nine long days and nights he kept the place where we had first seen him, I and daring this Si me we had two or three ! squalls and two days of heavy weather. | So long as a man leaned oyer the rail to | watch him he kept his wicked eyes fas- | tenod on that man, nncl when any one was aloft and laying out on a yard the I brute's jaws could be seen working ns if he had the taste of a sailor on his tongue. He might have followed ns to the end

could hold all that meat and another go eight days without eating a thing is yet another question for discussion. Few authors write of the sea without bringing in the shark and relating how he bit a sailor’s leg off. Au encyclopedia says, “A large shark is not only ca pablo of biting off the limb of a man but of snapping the body in two, and has even been known to swallow a man entire. ” There is not a shark in existence which can even bite a man's arm off. He may have four, six or eight rows of teeth, but none of them is as largo ax a cat’s. All are placed on the principle of a cant hook. Instead of biting through a limb, the teeth strip the flesh to the bone. In the bay of Campeche, off the coast of Mexico, a sailor fell from the yardarm of the British ship Rover. There was a dead calm and a Hat sea. As the man reached the surface after his plunge he was seized by a shark computed to be 20 fet t long. Tin* man was fairly seized about the middle, leaving his legs on one side and his shoulders on flu* other, and the shark swam about with him for five or six minutes. About was lowered and the monster tit tele to let go his hold by being struck with a Ixiat hook. The sailor was dead from loss of blood, but he had not been bitten in two. At Newborn, N. ('., I saw a soldier seized by a shark while in bathing. The shark seized the right leg just ls‘low the knee and stripped the flesh off clear to the ankle, but not the print of a tooth was found on the bone. He might perhaps have unjohited tin* leg at the knee, but he could not have snap ped it off. As to bolting a man whole, the sailor who has ever fed hot bricks to a shark will smile in contempt. Only a big shark can gulp down a brick, and 1 have seen them throw out a fruit can after makitig several attempts to swallow it. At the New Orleans exposition a few years ago there was an exhibition of sharks' teeth, most of which had been taken from that wonderful deposit of bones in the bod of the Cooper river near Charleston. The varieties numbered over 800, but nearly all of them were of species long extinct. There were teeth there 4, 5 and e.nn 0 inches long and solid enough to bite through an oak plank, but of the 20 varieties representing the shark as found today there was not :> tooth long enough or strong enough to penetrate ordinary sole leather. While off the south coast of Java in the New Bedford whaler Joshua Lee we one day came upon a native craft floating on her beam ends. She had a crew of six men aboard,but they were frightened and helpless. The craft had no cargo in her and had taken in considerable water through her single hatchway, which had tieen left open. We sent a boat and out away her masts ami righted her, and then a strange discovery was made. There were three feet of water in her hold, imd dashing about in the water was a shark 14 feet long. He had come aboard with a sea. and instead of being left on deck had gone down the hatchway. The natives abandoned the wreck for the whaler, and three weeks later she was drifted asliort on the Sandalwood island with the shark still alive and rushing alwict, although he had had nothing to eat and the water

was very foul.

On that same cruise the whaler ran into the port of Barring, Java, to make repairs. Some fishermen had caught tt shark lit feet long in their nets, and he

had been lying on the beach three hours when I saw him. Some of onr men went to the ship and got a pork barrel, knocked out both heads and slipped the shell over the shark and drove it down to his bulge. He was then rolled into the water, and the tide floated him out In a quarter of an hour he was swimming about and headed for the open sea. Sixteen days later, when 220 miles to the south, that selfsame shark came alongside. There conld fit*

of the voyage but for a curious incident. no doubt of his identity, because hestill

On the morning of the ninth day we approached a large swordfish sleeping on the dancing waves. We were within 100 feet of him when the creaking of the yards or the voices of the men disturbed him, and he came tearing down on tin* jsirt side and nm right over the shark and away out of sight.

wore his wooden jacket The barrel had shrunk to him so tightly that no effort of his could remove it. It must have bothered him about keeping under water, but it did not seem to affect him otherwise. In the course of a year we had heard of him no less thiui five times. He went up as far as the strait of Sends, came back to Aarung, ran over to the

coast of Australia and when last reported was to the south of the Coco islands. In the year 1873 the Scotch ship Kyle, coming down the China sea loaded with tea. caught ftre at midnight. The flames had made such headway before being discovered that it was useless* to fight them. One of the quarter boats was under repair and would not float, and half a dozen men out of a crew of 17 got away in the other and basely deserted ship and shipmates. Whatever would help make a raft was thrown over and hastily aranged, and in the course of half au hour the 11 of us were afloat. When morning came, the ship hud burned to the water's edge and sunk, and nothing was in sight. To the south of u* and about 20 miles away, as the captain figured, was the first of what arc known as the Hnndred islands. These islands, reefs and banks begin at a point opposite the gulf of Siam and extend northward for 500 miles. I'lifortunately for us, the wind was from the south, thus drifting us away, and we realized that our only hope was in hei;i_ picked up at sea. Not a shark was sighted until atxiu! 9 o’clock. Then a school of them suddenly appeared. The lowest estimate put on the number was 60, anil they dashed at the raft in such a desperate manner that everybody cried out in alarm. In their eagerness to roach us they pushed their heads on the reft, which floated only about six inches above the surface, and we turned towith axes, hatchets and clubs and fought them as if they had been wolves. It has always been doubted by sailors if a shark is susceptible of feeling. Every one aboard < if a whaler has seen them cut in the most savage manner by the sharp lances, but they gave the wounds no attention. They would continue to tear away at a dead whale even after their tails had been cut off or their entrails exposed. We gave these monsters some dreadful wounds as we fought them off, but it was the flow of blood which saved ns. No sooner did we wound a fish than the others would set upon him with the utmost ferocity. In many instances we saw the wounded attack the wound d. With a stick I punched a shark in the eye and totally destroyed the optic, but he swam about as briskly as before and did not se lit to feel any pain. At length, after about a*» hour of peril and excitement, a monster shark got under our raft. 1 expect his intention was to npset us, but he came to grief instead. There were ropes hanging down and trailing after us, and he got fast in some of them. He made a furious struggle, which nearly tore the raft to pieces, and after that started off to th<* southeast. It is a matter of fact and record that he towed us an estimated distance of 16 miles, wlicn wo were sighted and picked up by the American ship Republic, bound north for Japan. This was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the raft was then traveling at the rate of three miles an hour. It had been towed quartering to the wind and sea for seven hours without a stop. The shark went off with the raft, increasing his speed considerably as we were taken from it, and it was probably knocked to pieces and he set at liberty by the gale which came on next day. “Tlppl iis.* 1 The ideas of "tipping" vary the world over. In Paris the waiter considers that he has a legal claim to a tip equal to 6 per cent of the amount of the bill. If a man cats a luncheon which costs 75 cents, the waiter is perfectly satisfied with a "tip" which, in American money, would amount to 4 cents. Of course lie will gladly take more, but he is content with the 4 cents. If a man gave a dinner which cost lf400, the waiter would expect $20. lie look - upon that 5 percent as his unquestionable right. It is ;ts 'f there wen* a law uj"!i the subject of “tips." In New York there is a characteristically careless American amiability about "tipping." in the fashionable restaurants men who spend money freely give "tips" which amount to about 10 per cent of their hill. If th<* bill is £10, the waiter gets II- H it is *20, he gets *2, etc. But Americans who patronize the so called swell resorts do not follow a percentage rule in giving fees where the amount of the bill is small. For the most trivial service they give 10, 15 cents or at pi after of it dollar. A wealthy Frenchman, following the custom of Iris beloved Paris, gave a waiter of the best known restaurant in this country who served him a light luncheon the Paris 5 per cent fee. The bill was 60 cents, and the Parisian’s fee was :i cents. The waiter was so astonished that he stood stock still and watched the Frenchman till he left the room.—New York Tribune.
