The Orkney fishing boat’s crew had an exiting adventure with a large shark, estimated at from 25 to 30 feet in length, while hauling their lines at the deep sea fishing. The shark had swallowed one of the hooks, and in trying to escape got so entangled in the lines that he could not get away, while the fishermen were unable to take so large a fish into their boat. Ultimately, when the shark became exhausted, the crew cut off his tail, and were thus enabled to haul off the coils of lines from the body of the monster. Says “Truth” .—Some of my contemporaries were desperately anxious to see Lord Shrewsbury married to Mrs Mundy. One weekly journal announced that the marriage had taken place on the 17th, another on the 18th, and the latter gave the name of the church and the officiating clergyman. As the divorce had not then been made absolute, it was impossible that the couple could have been married on the days mentioned. The case was settled on Tuesday, and the parties were married at a registrar's office on Wednesday morning.
