These men are exposed to real danger. The
chAma gtgas, an enormous bivalve, which ex.
lists in the seas of Greece as well as of 1dia
has strength enough to bite cable in two
Its shell weighs no less than $50 lbs, and the
0sh itself about lOO Lbs.

two men 60 forth stripped, in q diminutive
boat armed only with knife stuck in their

he would try In vain to extricate himself; and
having by good luck avoided those hazards. he
may yet stand chance Of ending his days in
