In fact, an unexpected rencontre with a big shark, even when attended with no danger, is generally the reverse of pleasant.
You are contemplating 'the glassy, cool, translucent wave,' which promises you a deUcious bath in some silver-sanded bay, when suddenly you become aware of something like a flat black stick erect above the surface and moving slowly about. A shark's back-fin, by all that's uncanny ! Or your boat is anchored — as mine has often been — oflf some point where the tide runs bris...kly, and snapper and king-fish are strong on the feed. You are fast o2 Digitized by Google 194 THE BADMINTON MAGAZINE in a good fish and pulling against him till the line almost cuts your fingers, when there comes the glimpse of a grey side up- turned, a quiet boil in the waves, and you nearly fall backwards as you haul in, hand over hand, the head of what you had fondly regarded as your own captive, the body being in a shark's maw.
