A Strange Shark.
l saw a shark of a strange sort one
day when wo were a thousand miles from
laud. It had fallen a dead calm There
was not a sign of a breeze anywhere be¬
tween the north and south polos so far
as we could tell. It was just the day
for turtle, and sure enough wo sighted
a brace of them sleeping on the surface
half a milo 4 off. The Rtarboard ouarter
boat was IdWrwL and we went off and
picked thorn up. After that, we caught
three more, but a breeze sprinjriui? un
the boat was called iu. When we were
hoisting it up on the davits it got a
little jammed, uud, through theclumsi

and got a little strained. Well the
