It is not often thet sharks are seen in these waters, Mu 'a mistake to suppose that they donot visit them, or that there is nod ger from them t+ bathers. Sharks have been seen in Hongkong harbour several times in my recollection, but never caught. At Macao, however, on the 26th instant, a dead shark, four feet in length. was washed up close to the fort of the sea-wall on the Praia Grande. It is supposed that it pursued its prey into shallow water and with the ebbing of the tide got caught and stranded. the big fish attracted quite a crowd of spectators.
