"
Very
well
,
set
to
work
,
then
,
"
said
Glenarvan
.
12
Lady
Helena
soon
joined
her
husband
on
deck
,
quite
charmed
at
the
prospect
of
such
exciting
sport
.
The
sea
was
splendid
,
and
every
movement
of
the
shark
was
distinctly
visible
.
In
obedience
to
the
captain
's
orders
,
the
sailors
threw
a
strong
rope
over
the
starboard
side
of
the
yacht
,
with
a
big
hook
at
the
end
of
it
,
concealed
in
a
thick
lump
of
bacon
.
The
bait
took
at
once
,
though
the
shark
was
full
fifty
yards
distant
.
He
began
to
make
rapidly
for
the
yacht
,
beating
the
waves
violently
with
his
fins
,
and
keeping
his
tail
in
a
perfectly
straight
line
.
As
he
got
nearer
,
his
great
projecting
eyes
could
be
seen
inflamed
with
greed
,
and
his
gaping
jaws
with
their
quadruple
row
of
teeth
.
His
head
was
large
,
and
shaped
like
a
double
hammer
at
the
end
of
a
handle
.
John
Mangles
was
right
.
This
was
evidently
a
balance-fish
--
the
most
voracious
of
all
the
SQUALIDAE
species
.
13
The
passengers
and
sailors
on
the
yacht
were
watching
all
the
animal
's
movements
with
the
liveliest
interest
.
He
soon
came
within
reach
of
the
bait
,
turned
over
on
his
back
to
make
a
good
dart
at
it
,
and
in
a
second
bacon
and
contents
had
disappeared
.
He
had
hooked
himself
now
,
as
the
tremendous
jerk
he
gave
the
cable
proved
,
and
the
sailors
began
to
haul
in
the
monster
by
means
of
tackle
attached
to
the
mainyard
.
He
struggled
desperately
,
but
his
captors
were
prepared
for
his
violence
,
and
had
a
long
rope
ready
with
a
slip
knot
,
which
caught
his
tail
and
rendered
him
powerless
at
once
.
In
a
few
minutes
more
he
was
hoisted
up
over
the
side
of
the
yacht
and
thrown
on
the
deck
.
A
man
came
forward
immediately
,
hatchet
in
hand
,
and
approaching
him
cautiously
,
with
one
powerful
stroke
cut
off
his
tail
.

This
ended
the
business
,
for
there
was
no
longer
any
fear
of
the
shark
.
But
,
though
the
sailors
'
vengeance
was
satisfied
,
their
curiosity
was
not
;
they
knew
the
brute
had
no
very
delicate
appetite
,
and
the
contents
of
his
stomach
might
be
worth
investigation
.
This
is
the
common
practice
on
all
ships
when
a
shark
is
captured
,
but
Lady
Glenarvan
declined
to
be
present
at
such
a
disgusting
exploration
,
and
withdrew
to
the
cabin
again
.
The
fish
was
still
breathing
;
it
measured
ten
feet
in
length
,
and
weighed
more
than
six
hundred
pounds
.
This
was
nothing
extraordinary
,
for
though
the
hammer-headed
shark
is
not
classed
among
the
most
gigantic
of
the
species
,
it
is
always
reckoned
among
the
most
formidable
.
15
The
huge
brute
was
soon
ripped
up
in
a
very
unceremonious
fashion
.
The
hook
had
fixed
right
in
the
stomach
,
which
was
found
to
be
absolutely
empty
,
and
the
disappointed
sailors
were
just
going
to
throw
the
remains
overboard
,
when
the
boatswain
's
attention
was
attracted
by
some
large
object
sticking
fast
in
one
of
the
viscera
.
16
"
I
say
!
what
's
this
?
"
he
exclaimed
.
17
"
That
!
"
replied
one
of
the
sailors
,
"
why
,
it
's
a
piece
of
rock
the
beast
swallowed
by
way
of
ballast
.

"
It
's
just
a
bottle
,
neither
more
nor
less
,
that
the
fellow
has
got
in
his
inside
,
and
could
n't
digest
,
"
said
another
of
the
crew
.
19
"
Hold
your
tongues
,
all
of
you
!
"
said
Tom
Austin
,
the
mate
of
the
Duncan
.
"
Do
n't
you
see
the
animal
has
been
such
an
inveterate
tippler
that
he
has
not
only
drunk
the
wine
,
but
swallowed
the
bottle
?
"
20
"
What
!
"
said
Lord
Glenarvan
.
"
Do
you
mean
to
say
it
is
a
bottle
that
the
shark
has
got
in
his
stomach
.
"
