once tried it from boat in shallow
water? The turtles hide in deep holes
along the creeks To catch them two
or three men go out in a small canoe OF
shallow draught, and when they get to
one of these holes they pound on the
bottom of the boat. This noise is
carried by the water to the terrapin,
and they Immediately rise to see what

where near the surface away they go
like shot, and it requires pretty ex-

the canoe twists it here and there, fol-
