Pursuit by Baurians Ends in Alligator Chase Tale
In Florida a dangerous chase unfolds as five large alligators pursue a boat carrying James and the narrator, who race to safety toward a camp. They abandon birds to distract the predators and survive a deadly pursuit by paddling and fighting off the beasts until aid appears. The encounter ends with a great shark joining the scene and killing the predators, allowing the party to reach the camp exhausted but alive. George E. Walsh, in Yakkee Bade.
