A Narrow Escape
Oh dear! what is this? A poor man has been bathing, and here is a great shark trying to swallow him. Oh, what a good thing his companions were close at hand, and that they are so brave! See! one of them is striking his long spear right into the shark’s back; while another has got hold of their poor ship-mate, and is dragging him out of the shark’s very mouth! The man must be very much hurt. If he has any children, how sorry they will be to hear of it.
