BUT THE MAN EATING SHARK TOOK
$45,000 OF THE BAIT.
The Ex-Diver's Story of an Adventure Is
the " dreat Days" = Spence Smeared Itself
AU Over the Veranda at the Completion
of the Yarn.
"I suppose , " quoth James T. Ganlin
or Winchester , Mass. , wlio was sitting
on the hotel veranda , "that I had the
honor of killing the most valuable fish
that ever swam the seas. I did it single
handed too. I aver that this fish was
worth moro at the time of its death than
the finest sperm whale that was ever
harpooned , although we should really
leave whales ant of the question when
speaking of fish. It was 30 years ago ,
and I was young and foolish enough to
be a deep sea diver. Our diving schooner
and crew had been sent to Cuba to try
to recover some stuff from a Spanish
boat that had foundered off the coast of
Cuba , just where I don't now recollect.
It was quite a long trip for us , and as
the employment of a diving outfit 'was
an expensive thing in those days the
boys knew that there must be something
pretty valuable do the hold of the wreck.
I was quite close to our skipper , and he
told me that there were several boxes of
I gold coin in the wreck. On our arrival
at the port near where the wreck hay in
30 feet of water the agent of the owners
of the sunken schooner told us something -
thing more surprising. It was that the
gold had not been stowed in boxes in
the cabin , as was usual , but for some
reason had been bagged and placed in
the hold , being billed as copper washers.
This was probably a scheme to avoid
any chance of the spirit of cupidity arising -
ing in the crew , for the treasure was
very great.
"As the confidential man , I was selected -
lected to go down first and find the money -
ey bags , attach lines to them and have
them taken out before the other divers
should proceed with the work. of taking
out the other freight that the water had
not harmed. Iwas soon in the hold and
was surprised to find that the bags were
olaly a little distance from the hole in
the side that had caused the schooner to
founder. I had been told that there
would be 12 bags , but I could lay my
hands on but 11 of them. Finally I
spied a torn bag lying near the hole in
the hull , and on picking it up discovered -
ed that it contained a few gold coins. I
decided that the heavy.triple sacking
had been torn open in some way or other -
er when the schooner sank. I fastened
lines aboutthe 11 bags that were intact.
and had them hoisted , afterward going
up for air , for our apparatus was not
very good.
"In a few minutes I returned to the
hold to search for the scattered coins.
Very few of them were in sight. It occurred -
curred to me that they might have been
washed outside the boat , judging from
the position of the wreck and the fact
that the hold was far down toward the
ship's bottom. Iwas about to crawl out
of the hole when I remembered that it
might hazard the air pipe , so I was
pulled up and let down again over the
vessel's side. I was disappointed not to
find any indication of the gold near the
hole in the schooner , but 'set to work
digging resolutely in the sand. I had
gone but a foot down when I struck the
gold pieces all in a lump. I picked out
a great handful and turned the light on
them , for I sas a lover of gold then ,
even though it did not belong to me.
"Just then I saw something that
made the rubber helmet rise from my
head. It was a man eating shark. I
hadn't thought of one in so long that I
had neglected to bring my knife. It was
rushing at me. The stupid creature
never stopped to consider that with a
rubber and lead dressing a diver makes
a poor lunch. I was kneeling beside the
gold. At the shark's onslaught I naturally -
ly hung to the handful of gold as though
to use it as a weapon. He turned on his
side , opening his horrible month. A
feeling of grim humor had come over
me. The cruel goldbugs had sent me
down here to be devoured , after saving
thousands of dollars for them. I would
be a spendthrift at the last. So with all h
my force I flung the heavy handful of
coin into the yawning mouth.
"The shark must have thought it was
a part of me , for he snapped his jaws
over the golden morsel. I am satisfied
that he broke some teeth. He swam
back a little , and then rushed at me
again. I had no weapon but the gold ,
so again I flung into the hideous maw
enough to buy me a home in New Eng-
land. I saw him snap and swallow it.
Again and again was the attack repeated -
ed , and as often did I hurl gold into the
shark's throat. Pretty soon he became
dizzy , as it were , for the gold had unbalanced
balanced him , settling in the forward
part of his body. Then lie writhed in
agony , and I had to keep dodging his
flurry. Then , with cue terrible shudder ,
lie sank to the bottom , weighted down
by the gold. I tied a line about him and
then gave the signal to be pulled up. I
Then I helped hoist the shark. We cut
him open. Gentlemen , you must take
the word of an ex-diver that there was
y45,000 in him. Goldhad killed him. "
Silence smeared itself all over the
veranda. The pale moon slid behind a
cloud. The amphitheater organ slowly
wave a weird chunk of melody. The
chimes began to ring , "Those were i
great days , " said Mr. Gaulin sadly.-
