ATTACKED BY A SHARK.
[by telegraph—press association.] Oamauu, Friday. A pahtv of bathers was attacked this morning by a shark ten feet long, 20 yards from the shore. One of the party, David Grant Carter, was seized just above the elbow, but managed to extricate himself after the monster had torn away all the main arteries, nerves, etc., of the arm. Other members of the party went to his assistance, and brought him out in an exhausted condition. It has been found necessary to amputate the arm. Several sharks have been seen close in shore.
