Full Text (79  words)

Two workers at a crocodile farm near Darwin were collecting crocodile eggs when a saltwater crocodile emerged, attacked one and locked his left arm in its jaws. The other man came to his rescue, the police said, shooting at the crocodile and causing it to let go of the victim's arm, but another shot hit the victim's right arm. The victim was described as in good spirits after surgery for the wounds from both the reptile and his rescuer.
