GAME SHARK TACKLES TORPEDO
A shark which had appropriated
Noyae bay. off Sag Harbor, X. Y., vio
lently attacked a torjxMo thut invaded
those waters. The shark caught slj;ht
of the torpedo cruising peacefully
along at ."??? knots an hour aud started
to chase it Into Pecoulo bay aud thence
into the Atlantic.
The shark caught up with the tor
pedo and save It warning that the wa
ters thereabouts were reserved, but It
TUR SHaKK WAS THROWN INTO THE At.'l
ivi'umi! to ?v soured off ami with a
1'i'tuU'Ut r.bir of Its tall i-outiuuetl on.
'I'lu* shark ruddy pushed It aside. me
toriHHlt? |>aUl uo attention to the 'ag
gressiveness of the bin tlsh until the
shark turned over to sluk Its teeth In
the torjKMlo's nose. (Witnesses have
made affidavits stating that the shark
did turn over l?efore it bit in spite of
the recent edict to the contrary from
Oyster Hay, where nonreversible sharks
are said to abound.) As the shark's
teeth sauk into the torpedo It explod
ed with rage. The shark was found
several hours later and several hun
dred feet from the scene of battle. .
The torpedo had beeu fired from the
Kim burgt* K. \V. Bliss In the torpedo
testiug grounds of the Bliss Manufac
turing company. It was of the Bllss
Leavitt dirigible type, with a range of
3,500 yards and a speed of 30 knots.
This particular torpedo had been fired
at the target nets in the bay. A few
seconds before it should have reached
the nets It was seen to explode, and the
shark, which had evidently taken It for
a new kind of bin tlsh, was thrown into
the air. When it was picked up in the
uets it had been almost cut to pieces.
The naval otHcers who were attending
the trials will swear to the story.
The shark is the tirst that has been
seen In the waters of the bay so far
from the ocean. It was not far from
the bathing houses.
John Carroll, a farmer of Hatboro,
I*a., recently found one of his most
valuable cows killed by a bolt of light
Ring. The cow was killed iu an open
field, with no trees or fences near. No
ticing that the animal was badly char
red. Carroll took a knife and cut away
the charred part of one quarter. Be
neath the burned meat he found a fine
quality of beef, roasted Just right for
eating. He innuched several uiouthfuls
and afterward declared that with pep
j)er and salt the beef would have been
"plenty go.nl ci:>ugli to serve ou a ta
ble for dinner."
