KILLED BY SHARK
MELBOURNE YOUTH SEIZED. (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) MELBOURNE, February 16. The first shark tragedy for 50 years at Brighton Beach occurred yesterday. Norman Clark, aged 18 year?, was attacked while bathing near the pier, and was terribly mauled. He was dragged into the bay, but his body has not yet been recovered. His lady companion was an eye witness to the shocking affair. A crowd of people saw the shark seize Clark by the buttocks. It dragged him under time and time again. His cries became fainter and fainter, until there was nothing left but bloodstained water.
