TRUE FISH STORY
SHARK’S LEAP INTO BOAT (10 a.m.) ADELAIDE, March 22. Australia's best fish story for some months is completely authentic. A man was fishing from a catamaran type of boat, consisting of two canoes lashed together, when a huge shark leaped from the water and landed on the stern. The man was flung into the sea. Three men in a motor launch half a mile away heard the crash and went to the rescue through the darkness. They picked the man up and towed the boat to the shore. Its sail was torn to shreds and the wooden decking pierced by many teeth marks and one tooth was found broken off in the boom.
