UNPROVOKED ATTACK ON A FISHING BOAT Sharks occasionally attack boats—at times without apparent reason (see Copplcson 1962). Mr. Henry Tervo, a commercial fisherman of Eureka, California, told me (June 17, 1960) of an attack on his 36-foot boat "Hunter": "T was salmon trolling on September 10-12, 1959, about 3:30 to 4 , PST, about 4 miles offshore, between False Klamath and the Klamath River, Del Norte County, California, in about 30 to 35 fathoms.

I judged that I had hooked a 'shaker' [undersized salmon] on my port line, and I was reaching down to release the clamp on the port side of the stern of the boat when I saw something coming at me like a torpedo. It was a shark, about 15 feet long. It grabbed the lower guard of the stern of the boat in its mouth. Its impetus raised its body and tail out of water to such a height that I thought it would topple into the cockpit. When it released itself it went around under the stern and came un on tho st^r>>oard side. I went and got the gun and avIicii 1 came back it was making a turn toward the boat again. Then it went down and 1 never saw it after that. Captain of Wardens Walt Gray and another warden took three teeth from the side of the boat while the boat was tied to the dock at Eureka. The photographer of the Richmond Independent [164 Tenth Street. Richmond, California] ])hotographed the boat yesterday, but the scars had been largely obscured by the work done in dry ; (Figures)..
