Text Appearing Before Image:
of this monster is flat, thesnout is well thrust forward, and the broad mouth, starting frombehind, is armed with sharp, triangular teeth. The scaly piratehas noted the diver, and draws near him. If the diver shouldlose his presence of mind, he would fall an easy prey to thegreedy shark. But if he has his wits about him, he draws thedagger which he carries with him for such emergencies. With great agility the imperilled toiler avoids the rush ofthe beast, and at the opportune moment plunges his knife fromunderneath deep into the belly of the shark. A mighty streamof blood stains the water; the powerful creature lashes the seawith his great fins, and, struggling in the throes of death, seekssafety in flight. But sometimes, as is shown in our picture, asecond shark appears at this juncture, and the diver must battlefor his life once more. Sometimes he is fortunate enough tocome out a victor from the second conflict, but often enough heis terribly mangled by the hungry hunter of the sea.
Text Appearing After Image:
A Diver attacked by Man-eating Shark.
