along the coast of Oahu one day I saw some natives on rocki and some in the water I what they were doing and was told they were going to lasso a shark and that if I wished I might help pull it out of the water I climbed down the precipitous cliff a short distance and discovered there was a hole in the rock in which the shark had gone and was asleep One of the natives plunged into the water and tied a on the sharks without waking him and pulled him out I tell you he was a There are some incredulous re marks at this story which caused the senator to declare if any wan doubts this story let him pay the expense of the trip and I will lake the whole party to the cliff and show them the hole from which the shark waf pulled If I dont I will bear all expenses Judge Wilcox and stroking his mustache with a thats not expression answered I dont deny the truth of thai There is a fish pond down the coast where the sharks coins in at high tide When the tide goes out it leaves the water so shallow that Mr Shark cant turn over The native boys used to go to ihis pond plunge in mount the sharks and ride them all around The shark is not danger- unless he can get on his back and the water it too shallow for that at us to longingly to fond as to Almost melt one to lean To them wc were superior loved friends from whom they separated Senator who possesses a world of moral courage and a heart
