James E. Hamilton, mail carrier bo-

on the south Atlantic coast, was de

seventy five miles long, and he usually
walked most of tho distance on the

because of cross currents aud large
and vicious sharks that abound there.

wolves attacked him, tore the oars out
of his hands, bit huge pieces out of the
boat's gunwale, and finally he was
thrown into their midst. A horror
stricken eye-witness at a dietanee told
the story. The searching party found
nothing but fragments of the boat. No
