Four little Tommy Howard ind tilen from the gunwale, and the widowed mother was now childless Mrs Howard, who had fainted, was carried below, in state of joieniibility. The shark still swam by the vessel's side.. Some of the man determined, if possible, to avenge little Tommy's death; and baiting a large hook with x piece of fresh beef, they cast it overboard. Almost immediately the shark swallowed it, and fifty stalwart Arms pulled lustily at the stopt rope. He was an immense monster, and struggled violently. As soon as his nose was pulled well out of the water, a num=" ber of Californians began to practise pistol aboting at his eyes. Their balls soon pat a quietus upon him, and be was hauled, lifeless and hap, ob board. When bis buge bulk had been stretched along the deck, it war proposed that he should be opened, and the remains of the boy taken from his stomach, and giren Chris tian burial. The proposition was inmediately acted upon, and soon the carcase was bid open; when, to the utter aatonishment of everybody, the boy was found snugly seated between a couple of the monster's riba, still playing his fageolet,
