DEVOURED BY SHARKS
TERRIBLE FATE OF THREE FISHERMEN. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) SYDNEY, June 16. (Received June 17, 5.5 p.m.) A school of sharks rendered vicious by hunger, attacked a party of four fishermen in a skiff off Bellambi. They nosed in the bottom of the boat, which began to sink, and then turned over and the four men were thrown into the water. Three of them, George Clarke, E. Powell and Joseph Rigby, were devoured by the monsters, but the fourth man, John Butler, after a terrifying experience, hanging for an hour to the upturned boat, was rescued by a passing collier.
