Thrilling time avoiding a shark in Honolulu bay
An 1906 Wide Awake Magazine account describes a perilous fishing trip near Honolulu. The narrator battles a large man-eating shark while in a light skiff, tossing fish to distract it and attempting to reach Kepp harbor as the shark repeatedly leaps and circles the boat. The ordeal ends with the skiff narrowly escaping the shark’s final attempt and the hero reaching safety.
