Another Fish Story —One day last week a party went down the bay for the purpose of catching blackfish, and as they returned, anchored in Lewistown Roads, when some of the party, desirous of trying their luck at shark fishing, threw out a line, and succeeded in getting one on board. It measured seven feet, & on opening him, it appeared that he had swallowed another shark, which must have been upwards of four feet long, three large ding-crabs, and a quarter of veal, which being tainted, the party had a short time before thrown overboard.
