Shark battle off Stone Harbor fascinates summer readers

A Philadelphia Times report describes J B Ratcliffe and Richard Stevenson aboard the Sherman Todas yacht William Boothby at Stone Harbor engaged in a dramatic chase and battle with a school of sharks. Ratcliffe, Stevenson, and crew use a repeating rifle harpoon and ax to fend off the predators, saving Stevenson as the sharks converge near the drawbridge. The scene ends with a tally of 1487 pounds for the two sharks and Ratcliffe hailed as hero for critical shots.
