SHARK KILLED
IN AUCKLAND HARBOUR. NOVEL METHOD OF ATTACK. Auckland Nov. 24 A very unwelcome visitor in the shape of a shark measuring from tip to tail 9ft. 2in., was dispatched off shore in the vicinity of the Parnell baths this afternoon. The shark had been hovering around this locality throughout the day, and two men working nearby decided to attempt its destruction. Armed with picks and Mills' bombs in the shape of detonators, they waded into the water and hurled the latter at the shark, which was sufficiently disabled to enable them to administer the coup de grace with their picks.
