ATTACKED BY FISH.
SYDNEY DIVE® BADLY BITTEN. (Received Sunday, 6.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 6. Attacked by a mass of leather-jackets in forty-five fathoms of water outside Sydney Heads, Diver H. Locke bad his hands badly mauled and was hauled to the surface screaming with agony, with blood pouring from forty-two bites, several being so deep that the bones were exposed. Locke, recounting his experience, said: “They came at me from all sides. One bit my hand, and as the blood flowed the fish raced for it pell-mell. The taste of blood made them more savage and they rushed at me with amazing fury.”
