I ?r. (ieorge <J. Heynolds, of Matawau,
who attended Stanley Fisher, who was
so seriously mangled in a battle' with
a shark yesterday that he died a few
hours later, performed an autopsy on
Fisher's ImmI.v today. He declared that
the tlesh torn by the man-eater's teeth
was impregnated with a peculiar i>oi
sonoiis Ihpild, which seemed to have a
deadening effect. on the nerves and mus
cles. This probably explained, he said,
w hy Fisher apparently -luid little sen
sation of pain when the shark took off
Ids leg.
Little hope Is entertained for the re
covery of the body of 12-year-old Les
ter Stillweli, the other victim of the
Matawau Creek tragedy. It Is believ

have failed to bring tip the body.
Many conflicting reports were re
reived here during the day from va

New Jersey coasts regarding the kill
ing of sharks, hut only one appears to
have any foundation in fact. This was
the news brought in by Anthony Lun
