   • 1878, Clara L. Matéaux, Odd Folks at Home, page 161:
     Shall I tell you how a Shark was once caught ? " It was THE DOG-FISH SHARK. a hot day, and I was strolling on deck, when suddenly one of the officers called me, and pointed out a dark, razor-like fin cutting its slow but steady way through the blue waters that circled our ship. " ' What's that ?' I asked, wonderingly. " ' Don't you know a sea-lawyer yet, sir ?' " ' Sea-lawyer ! Oh, you mean a Shark ; is that one ? ' "
