An Australian swimmer says he survived a mauling by a 16-foot shark by wrestling with the beast, finally getting free by poking it in the eye. The shark, believed to be a great white, seized Jason Cull, 37, by the left leg as he was swimming at Middleton Beach in southwestern Australia on Saturday. From his hospital bed, Mr. Cull, who was treated for deep lacerations, said he had punched the shark, which grabbed him by the leg and dragged him underwater. “I felt along it,” he said, “I found its eye and I poked it in the eye, and that’s when it let go.”
