sis, Slinrk nnd Stliin liny Art
Among the Danjtcra Tliry Ilrnve.
Three native divers famous for tholr
deep waier feats came out In a pearl
ing sloop with us one afternoon and
gave a flue exhibition, snys a writer
In the Loudon Graphic. The bed over
which we halted was about ninety feot
under the surface. Our throe divers
stripped to a "pareo" apiece, aud then,
squatting down on the gunwale of tho
boat, with their hands hanging over
their knees, appeared to meditate.
Thoy wore "taking tholr wind," tho
white steersman Informed me.
After about live minutes of perfect
Btlllness thoy suddenly got up and
dived off the thwart. The rest of us
lldgeted up and down tho tiny deck,
talked, speculated and passed away
the time for what seemed an extraor
dinarily long period. No one, unfor
tunately, had brought a watch, but tho
traders and schooner captains all agrco
In saying -that the Pcnrhyn diver can
Btay under water for full three min
utes. At last, one after another, the
dark heads popped up again, and tho
divers, each carrying a shell or two,
swam b.ick to tho boat, got on board
and presented their catch to me with
the ease, grace and high bred courtesy
that niv the birthright of all Pacific Is
landers. As a general rule, the divers carry
baskets and till them before coming
up. Each man opens his own catch at
once and hunts through the shells for
pearls. Usually ho does not Hud any.
Now and then he gets a small gray
pearl or a decent white one or a big,
Irregular "baroque" pearl of the "now
art" variety, and once In a month of
Sundays ho Is rewarded by a large,
gleaming gem worth several hundred
pounds, for which he will probably
get 20 or 30.
Diving dresses aro sometimes used
In Penrhyn, but In such an Irregular
and risky manner Unit they are really
more dangerous than tho ordinary
method. Tho suit Is nothing but a
helmet and Juniper. No boots aro
worn, no clothing whatever on tho
logs, and there aro no weights to pro
serve the diver's balance. It some
times happens, though wonderfully
seldom, that the diver trips, falls and
turns upside down, tho heavy helmet
keeping him head downward until tho
air all rushes out under the Jumper,
and ho Is miserably suffocated. The
air pump above Is often carelessly
worked, In any case, and there Is no
recognized system of signals except
the jerks that mean "Pull up."
"They're tho most reckless devils on
tho face of the earth," said a local
trader. "Once let a man strike a good
bed of shell, and he won't leave It.
He'll stick down there all day, grab
bing away In twenty fathoms or more
till he feels paralysis coming on"
"Paralysis'"
"Yes-they get It, lots of 'em. If
you was to go down In twenty fath
oms thoy can do live and twenty, but
anything over Is touch and go and
stay 'alf the day, you'd como up 'owl
Ing like anything and not able to move.
That's tho way It catches them, nnd
then they must get some one to como
and rub them with soa water all night
long, and maybe they dies, and maybo
they're all right by morning. So then
down they goes again, Just the same
as ever. Sometimes a man'll be pulled
up dead at the end of the day. How
does that happen? Well, I allow It's
because he's been working at a big
depth all day and feels all right, and
then, do you see, he'll find something
a bit extra below of him, In a holler
like, and down he'll go after It, and
the extra fathom or two does the trick.
"Sharks? Well, I've seen you pop
ping at them from the deck of tho
Duchess, so you know as well as I do
how many there are. Didn't 'It them
even when tho fin was up? That's
because you 'aven't greased your bul
lot, I suppose. You want to, If the
water Isn't to turn It aside. But nbout
tho divers? Oh, they don't mind
sharks, none of them, when they've got
tho dress on. Sharks la easy scared.
You've only got to pull up your Jump
ers a bit, and tho air bubbles out and
frightens them to fits. If you meet a
big sting ray It'll run its splno into
you and spoil tho dress, ho'b tho water
comes In, and maybo It'll stick tho
dive too. And the big devilfish Is
nasty. He'll hold you down on a rock,
but you cau uso your knife on him.
Tho kara mauaa is tho worst. The
divers don't lllco him. He's not as
big as a shark, but he's downright
Wicked, and bo's a mouth on him as
big as 'alf his body, if an onoo comes
along 'e'll blto an arm or log off tho
man anyway and cat 'lm outright If 'e's
big enough to ao" It. Swordflsh? Well,
they don't often come Into tho lagoon;
It's the Ashing canoos outside they'll
go for. Yes, they'll run a canoo and a
man through at a blow easy enough,
but thoy don't often do It.
, "About tho diving? Well, I think tho
naked diving Is very near as safe as tho
machine, taking all things. Worst of It
is, If a kara mauaa or an onoo comes
