Fishermen's peril and shark chase at St Marks July 13 1836
An account recounts a summer outing from St Marks with Judge O Neal and J B Bussey. They sail to Nigger Head Rocks, crew fish for grouper and red fish, endure a shark attack, rescue a frightened companion, and end by capturing a shark with a pole, bullets, and a rifle in a vivid coastal tale. The piece blends local humor with nautical bravado and coastal adventures.
