A FISK STORY
For severartlays past it has been observed
that . a 'school of • sharks were holding' their
head quarters in our 'harbor, in the More im
mediate vicinity of Louthern "wharves. ,The
exact purport of this convention of iiie mon
sters- of-the deep has been a subjt 7 et of some
I curious speculation among sea captain; &di- -
lora and landsmen. Some Captious son of
Neptune, More' conversant than his fellows
with the character. reannera and customs of
the more prominent species of the finny tribe,
gave it 48 a most rational conclusion that he
had been able to arrive at, after a careful and
thorough investigation of the matter, met for
the '''''''''''''' 'holding an 'inquest over * ttie
latit_sad relics of the unfortunate elephant
who felt overboard in a'storm, near the bar,
some time in thruary last; and this conclu
sion isfurthei sustained ,from the fact that '
seven of these carniverous animals . were
caught and Ave escaped, which proved that
the requisite number of 'ottrelve were present.
