BANKS OF PEARLS.
A Midniclit Fleet of White

COI.OMIIO , C 3ylon. September 25 ,
1881. Ceylon has long been justly
celebrated for tJiom , nutl site of thu
principal fishery is Salivaturin , Ju the
bay ef Coildntchy , about 135 miles
north of Colombo. Wlion your cor
respondent first viiitod HUB plnoo , in
1801 , there had not boon any fishing
for auroral years , the oysters having
suddenly disappeared aoino lime pre
vious. Now , however , n new deposit
hud about matured , which , it was de
cided , should bo fished the following
year. lions let me remark that tins
disappearance of the pearl inollusk ,
and its total absence from the banks
sometimes for years in a matured
utnto , is unfortunately no un-
commou occurrence , though I ho
cause is sometimes a mys-
tcrp which many people ex
plain in many wcys , each having his
own pot theory. Some think that
akates and water anakrs , which
abound on the banks , dcsttoy them ;
othc ear that abnormal currents iu
aoino yours awcep down upon thu
banks , bringing from Mnnanr and
Tnnnobon , wliich are just above ,
muddy deposits which pniaon the
water , rendering it uninhabitable for
tlie delicate oyator ; but my lamented
friend , the laro Captain James Wore-
ley , flomo time inspector for Ceylon
and Tuticoran pearl bank. " , was of
the opinion that the most mischief
was caused by fishermen , who wore in
the habit of illegally drawing long
heavy nets across the bnnka at night ,
for the sake of the abundance of fish
obtainable , and for plundering poirls.
This practice , ho averred , was BO
common , notwithstanding the banka
wore supposed to bo guarded , nnd wan
no sure to disturb and detach the
oysters from their moorings-for they
ndhoro to the rocks by n delicate pre
hensile ligament , that , to use hia own
words , "no wonder the bividvcs were
swept away and destroyed. " It is
probable , however , that they disap
pear from a combination of the fore
going causes , with perhaps another
not yet discovered.
The pearl mollusk of Ceylon , of
which there are Bevoral varieties ,
'notably the leaf oyster nnd bootol
oyster , has a similar hinge to the
mother of pearl oyster , but is not half
the sir.o of the latter , and owing to
thinness und want of quality in the
lining of tbo sheila , they have little
commercial value. The pearls , how
oror , nro unsurpassable for shape and
color , and always comtui n 1 a high
price. .Tho npawn ilatB about in coagulated
agulatod masses itself to rocks , nil-
chors , buoys or any other object suit
able to cling to , and if left undisturbed -
turbod , will frequently develop am'
mature all along the west coast of tlu
island , and allixes in thuso old locali
ties. I have often seen the oyatorH at
Colombo on old anchors lately recov
ered after yearn of immurBion , and 01
buoys set to mark fTio dangers to navi
gation.
THK KXUITKMKNT AT Till1. PINIIKKV.
There ia atill much dispute about
the time of their maturity , but I think
they produce small marketable pearls
at four years , quite largo ones at live
years , maturing , and dying i t cL. ycara
* ; % 'of 'fgoiy Tbo"pearlr banks "nro" gener
ally inspected once a year , in Novem
ber , and when the examination indi
cates that the oysters contains nufli-
ciontly largo pearls to pay for lishinu
notice is published in the Ceylon and
Indian newspapers that a fishing will
bo allowed the next year ; generally in
March ; ray from the first of March to
the end of April , fifty or sixty days ,
which was about the period occupied
by the work your correspondent at
tended in 1802. ThonoticobohiKgivon ,
a general rush then takes place of mail }
thousand people to Salivaturia , am
in the few days marking the close nl
the month of February such a trans
formation scene occurs in that drear ;
locality as no ono without witneaiiiii ;
it can realize. For the solitary tinin
habited waste is onddenly peopled by
n motley throng , representing al 11103
every Asiatic nationality and sect
Chinamen from the far east and Af
uhans from the farthest ninth west
besides people from Europe and Afri
en , though seldom from America
Two or three hundred boats , of tui
to twenty tons burdon. each laden will
passengers , goods , chattels and ligh
building materials , moor along tin
shore , and forthwith , like magic , i
largo and well appointed town spring
up in what was but yesterday tin
homo of desolation , nnd is taken pos
session of by a cosmopolitan multitude
tudo , largely composed of thieves
vagabonds nnd jugglers , who do no
forgot to begin to immediately ply
their several vocations. Over thi
impromptu HCttlciUont tlio govon
mont agent of the northern province
Mr. Twyncan , assisted by a polic
and small military force , holds dos
polio away , and it would bo hard t
find a better nun for such n dillicu
and trying position.

The boata that engage in fishery ar
manned by twonty-ono men each sa
ono pilot , ton oarsmen and ten divers
A government peon also general ]
ROCS in each boat to prevent tampe
ing with the oystora and robbery i
thd pearls. The remuneration to II
.fishers is one-third of the catch of
the oyatorH. The government taking
the other two-thirds. The boats gen
erally are divided into divisions of
I 100 each and given distinguishing
I colors , any red nnd blue. Each boat
haa ono moat nnd an immense goose-
wind sail. They nro roughly built ,
but sometimes gaudily painted , OH-
pociully those from Colombo , of which ,
however , there are but a few , as they
mostly come from the Coromaudel
coast of India und the northern ports
of Ceylon.
Preliminary to all fishing operations ,
the diaries may bo charmed , and this
mummery is pot formed by professed !
conjuror * known an "ahatk-chnrmcrs , ' '
who , a day cr two prior to the com- [
mpncomot of fishing1 , indulge in cer
tain diabolical cnchantmenta , and
afterwards , my every day when the
bofcta are out. they stand on the shore
uttering proyera , contorting their
f ce nd assuming bodily attitudca
the moit grotesque imaginable , besides
going through other toneelueu core-
monies too numerous and foolish to
mention , all the while abstaining from
food. Strange to pay , without Hit *
nonsense not a diver would go Into
the water , whereas with it they are a"
braui im heroes , and should "shark
attack them the would , as thry have
frequently done , cour.ncoi ? ly assault
and ulay him with their knives ,
mvmn ron TUB OHMS.
Tke nrnmttomunlB for fishing com
mence at midnight by the finiitf of a
uun , about which hour a gentle bieoze
begins to blow elf the land. Then all
the boats belonging to that day's divi
sion spread their broad , white eailn
and silently , liku huge i-pccter birds ,
skim nwny into the darkness. Their
emit-so is towardd the banks , some fif
teen miles distant , lying in twelve
fathoms of water. The part of the
hank for the day's fishing bus been
jroviously marked oil' with buoys.
Shortly after minruo the diving
bcgini from two temporary ncaf
foldings , ono'on each side of the
boat , formed from the oan. The
divuraarn assisted in their doiccnt by
an oblniii , ' ntotio weighing from twenty-
eight to forty pounds , attached to a
rope. The atone is hauled up by the
men in the boat imii'edintely after
reaching the bottom , an is also at a
given signal the basket containing the
oysters. These are gathered by the
diver during about one minuto'n im
mersion , no far nj my experience- goes ,
though T have heard of , without see
ing it , a man who could stay down six
minutes.
The diving proceeds with great per
severance nnd vigor until the sea-
breeze sets in , or until the nun c osses
the meridian ; after which it is very
ditlicnlt to induce thu men to go
down , they claiming that it makes
thnm ill. So , after , noon the boats
start on the return , and come bound
ing on before a fair wind under a press
of sail , which , without their ballast of
oystorc , they couldn't ' begin to carry
safely. Of course , the return from
the banks in the most exciting phase
in the pearl-fishur'n calling ; for each
boat races hard to bo first. There is
the alluring prospect of , immediately
on arriving , having the oysters shared ,
each man receiving a recompense for
his late toil. To the mere spectator ,
also , the sight of a hundred boats
laden with precious bivalves nnd full
of dusky forms , Hying over a spark
ling summer sea , is an animatina
spectacle , which once seen c.in never
bo forgotten.
A JIKCO.MI'OHINO > UHS OK HICHNKSH.
At ivcd on shore , the oysters are
landed and dividei1 , the boatmen
either Bulling their one-third share on
the spot or hawking them in the ba-
winr , and the government utoring its
two-thirds share in largo pens pro ,
tectcd by strong pulisadcs. At 4 p ,
in : the tioverninont agent , assisted by
native factotums , begins his sale
kind of auction conducted in
Tamil , the language of south
ern India , and mostly spoken
by the buyers a thousand oysters
biing ofl'ored at a time , the purchaser
of that thousand to say rfn the spot
how many moro he will take at the
same price. Tin's operation is repeat
ed until nil the oysters are sold , after
which delivery is given from the pens.
Tim bivalves are piled in heaps by the
purchase and left ( o rot until the
uteiich arising from their putrescence
is most abominablo. To eiidurn this
is the ono great trial of the speculator ,
who must bo ever present when this
decomposing mass is being washed for
pearls , us otherwise his laborers would
undoubtedly steajHhb boat of them , a
feat they sometimes accomplish , not
withstanding the greatest watchful
ness , as witness n ludicrous occurrence
which came under the eye of your cor
respondent.
A MJHTV MOOIl AN1 A TIIIKVIMl COOMV.
One hot afternoon when sauntering
past the pen of u largo speculator , I
was suddenly run into and nearly cap
sized by a coolie , who darted out of a
narrow gateway , lie was followed n
moment latyr by a huge Moor , the
proprietor , who started oil' in chase of
the fugitive , who was now making
long tracks for the neighboring jungle
and at a pace which , judging from the
circumstances I , as a racing man , con
sidered would prevent his being takeh
The Moor was not only as fat asahog
but had hia legs encased in baggy
trousers , and his upper person
in a white tunic overtopped in grand
style by an immense yellow and white
turban , which gave his head the ap
peaninco of n highly decorated biuhe'
basket , wheruns thu coolie seomoi
light , lithe and strong , and not in th
least incumbent with collies , beside :
having ho advantage of a long start.
Yon niny bo sure I watched the rue
with interest , and was surprised ti
see thu Moor gradually getting noaro
to his man , whom lie overtook ins
nntsido of a patch of rather clos <
jungle. In this the coolie migh
prolubly have found concealment hiv
ho been allowed to reach it , and tha
ho did not succeed in so doing was by
no means hia fault , for ho rat
liku a deer , but after id
w.is no match for his lusty
muster , who btought him back in tri
umph , During .tho 'race the Mooi
contrived , regardless of buttons
straps , hooks and eyes , to completely
divest himself of his gaudy apparel
My surprise at the result of the race
though great , wan soon increased b ;
seeing a dosu of mi'dicino ( a strong
purgative ) administered to the coolie
which had the oll'ect of cooling hi
blood , 1 guess , besides resulting ii
the recovery some hours later on , of
nice pearl , valued by thu Moor nt 5 (
say § 250. This the muster's quick
eye had detected the rough in swal
lowing , hence the pursuit and hencu
the treatment.
Ono day'o experience nt the pearl
banks is like that of every other day.
I need only close this article by say
ing tlmt n successful fishery , such as
is poorly described in the above ,
yields to Iliogovornmont , which mon
opolizes it , nbimt { JUDO.OOO , nt least
SiiOO.OOO of which would probably bo
net profit , as thu cost of supervision
is not great. Tlio actual value of the
pearls , however , would not bo over
half a million dollars , as most of the
speculators generally , make largo
profits , and there are , besides , the
boatmen's and divers' shares , worth
$100,000 , to bo counted in.
