Having had considerable experience
in turtle catching, know swimmer
can frequently approach sleeping tur-
tie from behind and leap on its back
before it awakes The creatures first
impulse is to dive, but If its rider
knows his business he can instantly
bring it to standstill by forcing his
fingers into its horny eyes, when it at
once floats motionless on the surface.
In the case of midshipman whom
know of he got on a turtles back and
enjoyed ten minutes ride, sometimes
on the surface of the water, sometimes
under, before he brought the animal TO
standstill.
Three things are certain-first, the
ability of man TO get ON sleeping
turtles back; second. by sitting far
back OH its shell to keep it near the
surface; third, TO instantly stop its ca.
reer by reducing it to blindness. Hav-
ing regard to the breyity and simplicity
Of Rougemont's account, | can quite
well believe that lonely man on his
coral sand bank, with all his instincts
preternaturally sharpened, did actually
ride and guide the turtle as he has
stated. Admiral Moresby in London
