That a u.an should take a ride on a live shark's hack, apparently with all the delight of a wild cowboy breaking-in an nnrnly mustang, would be dHBcnlt to believe unless circumstances wen- presented to verify it. Such an occur react turn fealty taken place, however and at so abort • distance from Han Francisco that any Monbting Thomas can easily satisfy himself by making a personal Investigation For the past few yean the fishermen in the northern part of Monterey ba; near Santa Cruz, have been greati annoyed by basking sharks These sharks, while in search of fond, often ran into the neta of fishermen, and in thrashing abnnt and trying escape from the meahet which enfold them, tear the neta and injure them ao that the fishermen at tiuiea suffer the of hundred* nf dollars Sometimes a shark struggles abont so umch in the water as to wrap the net* around it in snch a manner that escape Is Impossible, anil tlie hnge fish die* from the exhaus tion produced by ita wild efforts to get free 'i'o extricate the dead fish from the net* it is sometime* necessary to tow it aghore, and to recover part of the lose sustained in the destruction of the neta the fishermen tryout the liver of the shark and obtain a'quantity of cheap bnt profitable nil AN OCULAR IlCMONSTtMTION. A hnge husking ahark about thirty or forty feet long became entangled in tbe neta of tom* fishermen off Hoqnel hotel abont ftrnr mflea from Santo Crux. The shark, still alive and enfolded in the lets, was towed by the fishermen in hoata to the wharf at Capitola Ita ur rival created great axciteueut among the visitors at that retort The fact that •harks, any sharks, were near tbe beach drove hundreds of bathers from the wa ter. ami people hegau to make op tboir minds to leave tbe place. Mo amount of aaaorance on the part of tbe proprietors of (be dotal or tbe fishermen that bask ing shark* were not man eaters, and that many had been caught with no accident happening, amid entirely quiet the fears of the visitor*, and bathing waa almost given np Home ocular demonstration of tko fact that a basking ahark waa harmleaa there fore become neueeaary. Swimming Teacher Swanson, of tin Capitola baths, then determined to give an exhibition with the shark which should convince tbe most timid. A performance fol lowed tbe like of which no mao ever participated in before, Hwanson pat on a bathing salt and swam to the wharf when tbe partially exhausted monster lay, etill partly wrapped In the torn and tangled fishing neta Slowly approach ing the gasping yet enraged monster, a whale in size if not in spectre. Hwanson swam dose to ita tide, ana then clamb ered slowly on top, a moderately easy task to accomplish, as tbe shark lay almost entirely under water, (fitting astride \be hnge fish like a baby on an elephant, tbe bold swimmer shouted in triumphant derision at the several him- dred people on tbe wharf, who bail gathered to witness the strange per formance. QOT USED TO IT Bis song of tuooeaawaa quickly cut short, for as soon as tbe laxy shark real ised it had gathered something more on its back It commenced to thrash about and threw SvYanaon off. Women in tbe crowd shrieked In tear and men held their breath in excitement. It was Hard ly a minute, however, before Hwanson appeared uninjured and laughing out side of the line of foam caused by the shark's struggles. Tbe crowd on the wharf breathed tpere freely when they saw the mnu emerge front the teethlnc Haler*afd reqJUWthatTaebjri wlbeen as they expected him tq be. The undaunted sfftnuuet agate went to the tide of the shark, and once more mounted his marine steed. Tbe shark again showed Its fear and anger by thak Ing him off. bnt not so violently as be fora. With great persistence Hwanson again climbed on to the monster What seemed before to tbe many spec tators a meet fbollmrdy act, and but tbe courtship of Certain death, now became a strangely comical sight. Hwanson mounted tbe fish, and tbe shark betuni ing accustomed to Its queer burden merely rollad tbe nun off each time he got on it* back, simply turning lastly in tbe water and shaking hinueU. This was repeated several times, and the large crowd of people who came expect- ing to see the man killed and eaten de parted laughing at the ludicrous ending of tbe performance. Hwanson became tha bsroof tbe camp Bathing wa* re sumed and even more freely indulged in as a cqoseqnenre of the exhibition, and no one can now be found hi Camp Capi tola who will admit that they rear a ebarfc. or a basking shark at least. -Han Francisco Chronicle Aa latsrsstlss Calculation.
