The first shark tragedy recorded for 50 years at Brighton Beach occurred yester day.
Noman Clark, aged 18, was attacked while he was bathing near the N pier and dragged into the bay. His body has not yet been recovered. A girl companion of the youtK witnessed the shocking affair. A crowd of people-saw the shark seize Clark and drag him under the water time and time again. The cries of the victim became fainter until finally they ceased altogether and he disappeared.
