MAN-EATING SHARKS.

A Pacific Mall Steamship Captain Gives a Description of the Monster.

"If Clark Russell or Robert Louis Stevenson had, in one of their sea ro- mances, described the wrecking of a ship, the upsetting of life rafts hy shoals of ravenous sharks, and the de- vouring of 45 of the crew, they would bare, indeed, been termed romancers by the public." said a former captain in the Pacific Mail service. "yet this was the unhappy fate of the crew of the British ship Hepuh, wrecked recently in the China seas.

"People here and along the eastern seacoast do not know what sharks are. as compared with the huge and vora- cious man-eaters of tropical waters. Whenever a good-sized sbark is seen of one of the New Jersey coast resorts, it is made a matter of news in the press, and timid people 'won't bathe' in consequence. In the warm waters of the tropica! Pacific they flourish to enormous size and, in the harbors. swarm around the Pacific Mail steam- ers in school, like gigantic minnows. It is actually terrifying to lean over the steamner's rail and watch these bloodthirsty tigers of the sea glide through the still waters, fighting like clemons for scraps of ship's refuse thrown overboard by the cooks,
