To endure the agony of having a big shark hook, which formed part of a gall', penetrating the fleshy part of the heel, and waiting while- two companions filed off either end of the hook in an attempt to extract it, finally removing the. stump with the aid of a pair of pincers, was the experience of Mr E. p. Parvarno, of Gisborne, last week. He was cycling home with a companion and, on dismounting, caught the gaff in the fleshy part of his foot. The- l>ig hook had to be filed away to remove the handle of the gaff, and then a pair of pincers had to be used with considerable force to extract the other portion of the hook. After treatment by a chemist Mr Parvarno was able to. go home.
