These diving boys are of the African tribe of
the Somali, which is just opposite Adan, on the
African continent. They are more savages
than anything else, though some of them have
adopted a barbarous edition of the Hndoo
religion since they came 10 Arabia Not long
ago cholera broke out in Alden. They had the
idea that it was sent by the Hindoo goddess
Durga, and they had festival to propitiate
her. This Durgn Is one of the most terrible of
the Hindoo goddesses. She Is the wife Of Sva
who has n necklace of skulls and who is known
as the destroyer. During the cholera festival
these Africans carried about the streets Of
Alden the corpse of cholera patient, thus
spreading the disease wherever they went
The English officers and soldiers tried to stop
them, but were unable TO do so. and for q time
the cholera band held the fort.

water until one got It and brought 1t up shin
ing between his teeth. The sea at this point
must have been very deep, for it was several
miles from tho shore. Many of the boys float
cd for hours in the water watching forsilver, and
kicking out their black legs and spreading out
their arms, they looked like turtles rather than
humans. The ladies on the ship who were TAX
ing their children home TO England, were very
careful of them duringour stay at Alden. Eng
lish children admire the antics of the little
blacks, and not long ago two little English boys
who had watched this diving and swimming.
concluded they would try their hands at it,.
They jumped over the sides of the ship after
she had left Alden and before they could be re-
covered they were dead. There is also danger
here at Alden from sharks and one of these
black boys had his leg taken off not long ago
by shark while diving.
/ shall not forget one of the Arabian diving
boys who climbed into my boat as l was rowed
from the ship TO the shore. He was as bright
as dollar and as sharp as q tack. He talked
very little English and carried on his con-
versation largely by gestures. His body from
head to heel was covered with scars and burns,
and upon my asking him how he had gotten
these marks, he replied that when he was q
little boy, putting his hand down to his knee
TO show how high he was, he was plenty
burned him in this way to make him well.
This method of curing diseases is COM
mon in Africa, Egypt and Arabia When
the patient has stomach-ache the doctor puts
a red-hot iron on his belly, and when he has a
cold on the lungs the skin of his chest is burned
or scarifed, thus producing tho same effect of
the counter irritation of the mustard plaster
or the moxa of Japan. My boy grew very
friendly during the trip, and upon my propos-
ing to take him back to America with me he
said:
Ycs, go wild you. be your boy. / very
good boy. do many things. | dance for you.
l sing for you, and you fall in water l dive for
you. S'poso you give mo clothes, go wild you.
You want hear me sing?"
l nodded, and with that the little fellow
burst into a barbaric song, bowling out in tones
that could be heard mile away, his voice
rising and falling aud his black hands now and
then slapping his lips to vary the song. and at
other times clapping together in rude meas
ure to it, When i came again 10 tho ship he
returned with me, and upon my giving him a
dime he dived to the bottom aud brought up
an oysters shell for me.
