        GIRL FRIGHTENS SHARK.

        Man Friend Dies After Rescue.

        Sydney, Wednesday.

        Wonderful heroism was displayed by a twenty-year-old girl, Miss Lucy Donaldson, in beating away a shark which had attacked her man friend.

        Miss Donaldson and her friend, Mr Arthur Lane, a prominent business man, were swimming off the beach at New castle, seventy-five miles north of Sydney. Mr Lane was about fifty yards away from her when she saw the shark attack him four times.

        Miss Donaldson swam at once to Mr Lane's assistance, and by vigorous splashing and beating the water frightened the shark away. Mr Lane was shockingly mutilated, but she succeeded in towing him to the beach, where he died. - British United Press.
