The next morning, the local shark hunter, Matai, finds the yacht and the mariner, Jean-Marie Ernoult. The latter explains that the owners of the yacht, Mr. & Mrs. Petrossian, were lost at sea during a storm. But later, Matai kills the largest shark in the island lagoon and finds in its stomach Mr. Petrossian's sandal. Read on to find out what really happens in this strange but true story.
