About the middle of February, vrhoa
tho no!Lh Is shivering In wintry wlada,
with ou occasional dash of snow, the
turtlera of Nussau are getting - their
little vessels ready for the rnimmer
cruise in the waters of the Bahama Is
lands, running as for south as Grand
Turk and tho Calcos group, and even
to tue
waters of Santo Domlruro. In
I wnrch of tho highly prized hawkJilll
- 1 turtle In zoology Eretniocbelys Imbrl-
catn, explains Joseph A- Ilowella in the
New Vork Sun. This Is the turtle thnt
furnishes th) tortoise-shell, also caked
caret. These shells are worth from
$3 to $20 a jwund, according to thick
uesa and markings.
A turtle bout in ordlnnrlly a little
(sohootieruboutthlrtyfoetiong and four
teen feet beam, but they vary In size.
They are seaworthy and simple In rltf.
The merchants of Nassau fit out hun
dreds of those vesflols, each of which
carries a number of small boat, with
two men to each boat, a cook, who has
charge' of the vessel when the men are
off after turtles, and nn extra" man on
the larger vessels.
Tbe usual equipment Is about as fol-
low9: For fifteen tons or smaller rea
sels, five boats and eleven men ; twenty
tons, eight boats and eighteen men 5
thirty tons, ten boats and twenty-two
men. The small bonts oro about oloven
feet long, flnt-bottomed and quite sea
worthy. When not In use they art
nested amidships on each side of the
innst
Each small boat Is equipped with an
oar for sculling, a water glass, a wood-!
en box twelve Inches lone nnd tpn
Inches square, In one end of which la.
fitted, wnter-tlght, an ordinary window:
pane; fifty or sixty fnthoms of light
ropa attached to a conical net six feeti
deep with slx-by-elgfit-inch mesh, at the-
bottom of which is a half Inch Iron!
hoop four and one-half feet In dia
meter, and weighted with lead.
When the vessel reaches the bunting
grounds, the boats are put over and
scattered about for la mile or more.
Each boat has an expert, turtler, who,
Ilea at the bow with his face close to,
tho, water glass, which Is Immersed;
three or four Inches under tho surface
of the water. Through this he searches'
the bottom from six to twenty or thirty
fathoms below, which In those clear
waters Is plainly visible.

the fisherniaa signaling with Ms bare
feet the course he wants taken. When
ho sees a turtle be carefully lowers the
net and drops it over his game, which
Immediately tries 'to escape, but be
comes entangled In the meshes and la
soon landed in the boat
As the hawkbill is hunted for the
shell on Its back, when taken aboard
the vessel It is killed and the shell
removed. If it Is wanted, tbe best
parts of the meat are saved for food,
but the rest Is cast into the sea. Thou
sands of pounds of soup material are
thus wasted ; for next to the green tur
tle, the hnwkbin Is the best for soup
that Is caught. If a canning outfit
were attached to a turtler, a large
amount of valuable material could be
saved. -
Turtle fishing is attended with thff
proverbial fisherman's luck. Some
times the crew which works on shares
will take one hundred and eighty
pounds in three months, and again not
hnlf as much. Sometimes the catch In
three months will amount to one thou
sand dollars. The value of the shells
varies greatly. ' The-averaire hawkbill
will be worth from $5 to $25. The
most valuable are those termed "lantern-backed,"
and the clear shell Is
worth $25 a pound.
Happiness From Troable.

we cannot deny the comfort to be
