Killed By Shark
SYDNEY MAN TERRIBLY MAULED GIRL’S COURAGEOUS EFFORT By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 11.10 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. While bathing in the surf near Newcastle last evening Mr. Arthur E. Lane, business manager of Henry Lane (Australia) Limited, was attacked by a shark and severely mauled. He died en route to the hospital. YIISS LUCY DONALDSON, aged 20, was bathing nearby with a girl friend. She sent the latter for assistance, while she herself hurried out to Mr. Lane, who was 50 yards away. Miss Donaldson splashed the water as she neared Mr. Lane, and the shark was frightened and disappeared. The girl found Mr. Lane almost unconscious. She dragged him to shore, where assistance was available. The man’s right hand was bitten off and large pieces were torn out of his left thigh, while the calf and shinbone showed marks of the shark's teeth.—A. and N.Z.
