“Suggestive Teeth”
“A caution to bathers might have been seen on the beach by the Maori Pa last evening, in the shape of a bull shark fully 10 feet long, which was caught about seven o'clock at that end of the harbour, by Sugini, a fisherman. It weighed about four hundredweight and had a mouth with three rows of teeth, highly suggestive to swimmers of speedy amputation of legs. . It is on exhibition at Portelli’s oyster saloon, Willis street”—From the Wellington “Evening Post” of December 5, 1872.
