BEWARE OF SHARKS!
KIFLE PRACTICE AT EOXA BAT. There is not the slightest doubt about the prevalence of sharks on our iushore beaches, and nil bathers are warned that it is dangerous for them lo venture aiiy distance out from the shallow water of the beaches, especially in the harbour where the water is not broken by surf. Un Saturday afternoon a ten-foot shark was clearly observed swimming under and about the Rona Bay Wharf. It remained there long enough for one of the dent? to secure a rifle and, in the presence of quite a crowd of people, take three or four shots as the shark lazed round in the inshore Waters. Other sharks were also 6een along' the eastern foreshore by many people. As a result most batters on, Saturday and yesterday did not venture out very far.
