Ditsored by Hamilton MacFadden

It is the most dangerous to human life of all deep-sea fishing. The schools of tune are harassed and harried by monster tiger sharks, the most savage and terrible scourge. of the seven seas. And the tiger. shark is more of a menace to the fisherman" than he is to, the tuna. Every tuna boat returns to porte with its toll of fatalities. There are few tune, fishermen that don't:carry- the scars of mutilations of desperate encounters with these cannibals of the deep.

All these phases of a little known enterprise are vividly embodied in this unusual picture.

"In London all the beautiful shops are dedicated to the elegance of Man. Sportsmen stand, in front of shop windows and contemplate boots and shoes stitched in strange fashion.pl
