Abstract:
A gathering of countrymen, lawyers, and sailors stare with shock and consternation at the carcass of a shark laying on a table before them. A countryman begins the dialogue with an exclamation, "Dang it if I ever saw such a thing in my life, why it would swallow a man alive!" while an attorney continues with a question, "Neighbor Stump says very true, I never saw anything like it in the whole course of my practice as a country attorney. Pray my friend what do you call it?" A sailor smugly jests, "Why it is a shark d'ye see according to the lubbers lingo on shore, but we gemmen in his Majesty's service call him a sea lawyer!!!
