Shark Attacks Boat Crew as Man Rescues Tail Line
Kauwila volunteers to dive and secure a line to a shark’s tail as Rauchia hauls the creature near the boat. The shark dives beneath the craft and resurfaces, allowing the line to be fastened. The shark is hauled ashore, killed, and its flesh shared among the men, while a separate comic exchange about an engagement appears.
