Reports describe unusually bold sharks roving Manhattan waters near East and North rivers. A dead woman’s body, found at Pier 20, drew fierce competition among sharks as longshoremen watched. A separate stagecoach accident in Missouri left a young mother dead, husband devastated, and two children injured, after a staged wreck.
