FISH SEIZES GIRL.
BATHER’S NARROW ESCAPE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 16, 5.5 p.m. London. Oct. 15. Miss Shallis, wild? bathing in the Prensham ponds. Surrey, had a narrow escape from death. A thirty-pound pike (a fish common to fresh water in England) seized her leg, and the more the terrified girl struggled the tighter the piks’s jaws closed. Exhausted with pain the girl sank, but fortunately other bathers were attracted by her cries and came to the rescue and forced the pike to relinquish its hold. The leg was badly lacerated.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
