Three lady bathers at Petonp report having had an unpleasant experience off the Petone Beach last Friday. They were about 100 yards from the shore, when ono of them saw a shark about 6ft long .- approaching her. She warned her companions, and, to frighten the shark, commenced splashing. This had the effect of keeping it at a distance, so that the ladies managed to reach the shore in safety.. ■ '' : ;■•',•'■: '"■'':■ '.'' !;''■','{■'■ . ■~.■■■"' '"= : : :' ,: : '.,."" * .
