Stationery The Weekly Guardian States that a shark weigblog well over six hundred pounds was caught in the barbour by Jobp Nickel, one of the local fishermen, and brought ashore. For guite long time it attracted streams of sightseers around the Fish Market where it was lauded.
Niekle made this interesting catch in one of his nets set for small fishes Apparently the monster was feeding close to sbore, and entangled in the mesbes. When an attempt was made to baul in the net it was discovered that there was an COM unusual load in it. As the fishermen tugged at the ropes tbe shark struggled violently but was unable to break free. The united efforts of a score of fisber folk succeeded in landlog the catch safely by the market.
It measured 18 feet from nose to tail and was six feet around its thickest part. This is the largest abark that has been brought in bere for many a season.
