Adventure with a Shark in a Small Canoe
An amateur paddler recounts capsizing a small canoe while learning to paddle. While struggling in warm water a large shark approached, nearly grabbing the loge before two islanders arrived in a larger canoe. They frightened the shark, then a whaleboat picked up the narrator. The encounter ends with the shark hooked and hauled aboard, described as a deer shark about 18 feet long with a trimmed backbone used for a pair of walling-stiel.
