THREE MEN FIGHT 50 SHARKS AS THEIR BOAT IS HIT

Hurled High Out Of Sea

THREE men had remarkable

escapes recently when a school of 50 basking sharks surrounded their boat and one of them hurled it out of the water, off Peninver, six miles] from Campbeltown, Argyll shire.

Blinded by water, Mr. Hughi Cameron, the owner, hung on! to the wheel, and brought the boat back to an even keel.

"Struggling to beat the sharks off, the three men managed to reachi land.

Mr. Cameron had taken the motori Ashing-boat Maggle out for an en- gine test after Its annual overhaul. With him were Mr. Edward Mc- Callum and Mr. Archibald Brown.

"COULD TOUCH SHARK" Afterwards he said: "We had not Kol for out when the Maggie was surrounded by sharks-40 or 50 of them:

Suddenly an appeared right in front of us, and I saw a shark rising to the surface underneath the boat.

"I could have touched with my hand. I swung the Maggic round,j but the propeller was struck by the shark, and we were thung out of the water."

Three ITER were drowned in Carradale Bay, near Campbeltown, in September 1937 when their boat was upset by n basking shark.

Is to ask the Secretary of State for Scotland in the Commons it he is aware that big shoals of basking sharks have entered the Firth of Clyde, and that large sharks have been seen in Kalog Bay, Ardnacross Bay, and Campbeltown Loch?

This unusual roof garden in the heart of the elty has been bullt up by Mr. and Mrs. G. Stanley-Lovati round their fiat. The luxuriant growth has been attained by scientifle fruatment of the goll-Star Photo- *grapher.
