England's complete dependence on

PEARL DIVERS OF cEYLoN.


Marco Polo Tells OF charmors Who
Keep Away Sharks.
When you leave the island OF seiIan
and sail westward about sixty miles,
you come 10 the great province Of Maa-
bar, which is styled India the Greater;
1t is the best OF ali the Indies. and is on
the mainland.
In this province there are FIVE kings,
who are own brothers. win tell you
about each in turn. The province is
the finest and noblcst In the world.
At this end Of the province reigns one
of those Eve royal brothers, who is a
crowned king and his name Is Sender
Ban6 Davar. In this kingdom they
find fine and great pearls; and ! win
tell how they are got.
The sea here forms a gulf between
the Island of SeIlan and the mainland.
And all round this gulf the water has
depth Of no more than ten or twelve
fathoms. and In some places no more
than two fathoms. The pearl6shers
take their vessels, great and small. and
proceed into this gulf, where they stop
from the beginning Of April till the
middle Of May. They go first to place
called Bettelar, and then 60 sixty miles
into the gulf. Here they cast anchor
and shift from their large vessels into
small boats. The merchants divide In
to various companies, and each OF these
must engage a number OF men on
wages. hiring them for April and half
Of May. OF all the produce they have
first to pay the king, as his royalty. the
tenth part. And they must also pay
those men who charm the great fishes,
to prevent them from injuring the
divers while engaged in seeking pearls
under water, one-twentieth part Of all
that they may take.
| These fish-charmers are termed
Abraiaman; .and their charm holds
good for that day only, for at night
they dissolve the charms so that the
fishes can work mischief at their will.
These Abraiaman know also how to
charm beasts and birds and every liy-
ing thing. When the men have got into
the small boats they jump into the
water and dive to the bottom, which
may be at q depth of from four TO
twelve fathoms, and there they remain
as long as they are able. And there
they find the shells that contain the
! pearls, and these they put into q net
bag tied round the waist, and mount
up to the surface with them, and then
dive anew. When they can't hold their
breath any longer they come up again,
and, after little, down they 60 once
more, and so they go on all day. These
shells are in shape like oysters or sea-
hoods. And In these shells are found
pearls, great and small, of every kind,
sticking In the flesh of the shellfish.
In this manner pearls are fished In
great quantities, for thence In fact
come the pearls which are spread al
over the world. And the king OF that
state hath very great receipt and
treasure from his dues upon those
Dearls.-St- Nicholas.
