BOAT ATTACKED BY
A MONSTER SHARK
CREW AFTER HARD BATTLE
LAND LEVIATHAN WEIGH
ING IS TONS. «
THIRTY-SIX FEET IN LENGTH
Huge Fish Identified as a Man-Eater,
and Thought to Be the Largest
Ever Caught in the Puget Sound
Vicinity.
Seattle. Wash—After a terrific
struggle tasting seven hours a gigan
| tic shark 36 feet long and estimated to
weigh mere than fifteen tons was cap
tured by the combined crews of the
fishing boats Good partner and Pioneer
| II- between Port Angeles and Port
Crescent. The monster is believed to
: be the largest fish ever caught in these
waters.
The Good partner and the Pioneer
II.. much Tattered and rattle-stained,
with half of the crews nursing more
j nr less serious wounds, towed the
mammoth carcass into Elliott bay.
In spite of the 30-horse power engine
with which each is equipped, it took
■ the two boats 15 hours to get the car
cass down from Port Townsend.
When pulled to the surface the tail
was seen to be full of splinters and
blue paint, as the resul^ of the strug
gle to demolish the Good partner The
shark is IS feet in circumference at
its middle and about twelve feet
around the head The huge triangular
mouth on the under side is five feet
across The flukes of the powerful tail
are six feet apart. The body is gray
and covered with tine spikes which
make it feel like a file.
One result of the shark's capture is
that the crew of the Good partner will
never do any more Sunday fishing
Captain Dragich and his five men
were hard at work early one Sunday
morning pulling up their big salmon
A Minute Later It Appeared Alongside.
nets. They had not pulled very much
i of it into the boat when the leviathan
made its presence known by thump
ing the bottom of the Good partner
with Its tail. A minute later it ap
peared alongside and hit the Good
partner amidships.
Luckily the shark had entangled Its
from fins and la head In the stout
meshes of the net. Before it could
tear itself free three thicknesses of
the net were wound around it. Then
the struggle began The six men on
the Good partner worked desperately
to keep the head of the big fish near
the boat and the death-dealing tall
away. Ag*in and again it would rear
Its big bulk out of the water and
smash In the sides of the cabin oiaf
Larsen, the youngest member of the
crew, had his arm broken, and Cap
tain Dragich was cut in the head and
chest by flying glass.
The Pioneer II. came to the assist
ance of the desperate fishermen on
the Goodpartner after about an hour
of the conflict. They towed the fish
and the boat to a sandy beach. Tackle
was fastened to a tree on the shore
and the Pioneer's winch managed to
pull the fighting fish into the shoal
water. As the tide ebbed the shark
was left high and dry. and its strug
gles diminished. At one o'clock Cap
tain George Saeher of the Pioneer II
got close enough to the fish to chop a
hole in -ts throat with an ax.
Besides the personal injuries suf
fered by the various members of the
crew, a big net valued at >1.900 was
complete.y destroyed. Wnen first ex
amined the fish was believed to be a
whale or bash king shark, but when it
was cut in two after fifteen minutes'
work with an ax bones were found
which indicate that it is a nuaeater.
The bones, from their sixe and weight,
are believed to be human, although
the ’argest fragment is only four
inches long, making it difficult to de- •
clde.
Another unusual find in the stom
ach. which might be taken as an in
dication that the bones are really hu
man. is a piece of aluminum, now in
the possession of Captain Dragich
None of the fishermen could explain
of what the thin curved plate of alu
minum had originally been a part. As
son as they came ashore, however.
It was identified as part of a folding
camera.
