Sharks In Baltimore Waters

Great numbers of sharks aro gat'ared at Curtís Bay, Baltimore, where hey are said to have thinned out the odible fish and kept the fishermen Ti om making raoney. Col. Godfrey ïïagle, chief engineer of the sugar rermery, bas tried to snare the sharks with pork. He had a large steel hook made on which he put five pounds of raeat, anL then tied it with a line to üie pier.' He caught many soft shell ïrabs, but no sharks. Now the Curtis bay folks are talking of using live dogs is bait. It is notorious that a shark will risk his Ufe for a live dog, even if he is yellow and without a pedigree. There is plenty of material at the bay n the shape of worthless dogs. The ■jcheme is to hide the hook behind the mimal so that the shark won't see it. William Lowry, a shark flsherman, says that he never saw so many of Lhem in his life. They round up the iish under the sugar refinery pier and Uien wait for tliem to come out or lie.
