FIGHT WITH A SHARK.
THREE ATTACKS ON BOAT.
While Messrs. H. Wyer and N, Nolan were fishing 150 yards from shore at Sandgate, in Moreton Bay, Queensland, recently, a blue nose shark about 12ft. long charged their boat three times. An oar was used on the first occasion to fend it off, but it made two more attacks. Each time the men battered the monster with their oars, and then lifted the anchor and retained to shore to warn a party of bathers.
