Lone Dhow

There are not many people who have the gift to make the account of their adventures as hair-raising as the adventures themselves, but Mr. Conan Doyle is one of the few. His new book is an account of a mission undertaken on behalf of the Natural History Museum of Geneva to capture an adult Tiger Shark. While found in all tropical seas, tigers are harder to capture than the majority of sharks owing to their great strength and ferocity.
