While hundreds of summer visitors on the beach and in the South End Pavilion looked on helpless, Charles Bruder, a bellboy in one of the largest beachfront hotels, was attacked by a shark yesterday afternoon, and before help could arrive lost his legs. He died 10 n.inutcs after he was brought to shore.

This was the second New Jersey coast victim of a maneating shark, the other occurrence having been at Beach Haven last Saturday. Bruder had gone into the sea from the pavilion, which is in front of the New Monmouth Hotel. He was known to the beach guards as a strong swimmer, and when he went 100 feet or more beyond the life lines, they only occasionally looked his way. Suddenly he was heard to cry, and a woman on the beach shouted to the life guards: "That man the red canoe has upset and is calling for help," the blood on the water con fusing her. The guards, George White and Chris Anderson, knowing that Bruder was not in a boat, realized that something was wrong, although he remained on top of the sea.

They launched a boat and were at his side in the bloody water in a short time. Bruder exclaimed, 'iA shark bit me" and became unconscious as he was pulled into the boat. The two guards brought him to shore and tried to give first aid while waiting for a physician, but the man died within 10 minutes. Examination of the body disclosed the fact that the shark had bitten Bruder in the side before taking his legs off, as there was a deep cut beiow his left arm. The left leg was cut off clean above the knee, and the' right leg Just b6low the knee.
