THE "'DAILY ASTORI AN, ASTORIA, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 1893. MAN AGAINST SHA11K. "The prettiest buttle I ever wltue-wcd was between a Cuban nnd ft couple of sharks," said Thos. C. RIdgway. "We had reached Havana from New Yorlt, mud were lying perhaps half o mile from the docks awaiting the nli;i;'.U to go In, Several fruit peddlora had boarded us, and among them was a swarthy, bare-leg:ged young fellow who looked like a pirate. The purser whh standing by the rail, holding his iive-year-old son In his arms, Watching a couple of monster sharks that were hanging about the vessel, when the child slipped from his grasp and fell Into the water. The father plunged overboard and seized him, and tne sharks at once made for the pair. "The bare-legged young buccaneer dropped the fruit basket and went over the rail like a Hash. As the first shark turned ion its back, the Invariable prelude to biting, the Cuban rose, and with a long, keen knife, fairly disem boweled It. The other was not to be disposed of so easily. He seemed to realize that In the Cuban he had a dangerous foe, and, In theanguage of the ring, Bparred for an opening. Sev eral of 'us began to blaze away at him with our revolvers, but the Cuban ap peared to fear our bad marksmanship more than the shark, and begged us u desist. The purser and hta child had been pulled on deck, and the com batants had a fair field. The Cuban dived, but the shark did not wait for him to come up, and changed his lo cation. Finally the laUer advanced straight upon his antagonist, his ugly fln cutting through the water like a knife, turned quickly upon his back, and the huge Jaws came together wlih a vicious snap, but the Cuban was not between them. He had sunk Just in time to avoid the shark, and as the latter passed,' shot, the steel Into It. The old sea wolf made the water boll, and strove desperately to strike his antagonist with his tall, but the latter kept well amidships, and literally cut him to pieces. "We made up a purse for him, and the next Sunday the brave rnganiutlln could have given Solomon pointers In gorgeous apparel." PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS. Washington, Dec.
