Diver says he was partly swallowed by shark

By Michael Perry

SYDNEY, Jan 23 (Reuters Life!) - An Australian abalone diver told rescuers he was partly swallowed head-first by a Great White Shark on Tuesday but managed to fight his way free, suffering a broken nose and bite marks around the chest.

Diver Eric Nerhus, 41, was underwater with his 25-year-old son and other divers off Cape Howe, near Eden on Australia's southeast coast, when the 3 meter (10 foot) shark attacked.

"He stated that he was head-first into the shark," a spokeswoman for Snowy Hydro SouthCare rescue service told Reuters after airlifting the diver to hospital.

"When he came to us he was conscious and alert but had a broken nose and lacerations to both sides of his torso and chest -- bite marks all the way around," the spokeswoman said.

Nerhus told fellow divers he didn't see the shark coming as the water was so dirty that visibility was severely limited.

"It was black. He didn't see it coming, but he felt the bite and then started getting shaken, and that's when he knew he was in the mouth of the shark," said local diver Michael Mashado.

Not true. There were free blacks of the South who owned slaves themselves and fought under the Confederate flag. Most were conscripts who fought because of a promise of freedom. There were, however, a number of blacks who fought to secede from the union out of self interest.

That's a silly comparison. Why compare a war between the states to a war for world domination? Do you really think the two are analogous? Do you think the Constitution of the Untied States and the Treaty of Versailles have any points of congruence whereby the analogy is apt? Try again.

Stop trying to be cute. I think this JeromeRip99 character understood that I wasn't making a blanket statement with the original comment about free blacks. Because he didn't disagree explicitly, my disagreement should be seen in the same vein- implicitly. But you knew that already.

Just as a point of order, the "Confederate flag" seem most today was the navy jack.

Here was the "stars and bars" (the first national flag of the CSA):



The battle flag was square:
