New Orleans Times Democrat
''The flesh of the green turtle often
brings $50 % pound, said an oyster
dealer. This rich meat comes TO us
from the coral reefs Of the West Indies.
"The turtles are caught in nets among
the rocks. They are very carefully

grows cold with the ships progress.
they arc penned in warm rooms below
regular state rooms.
IT'S q different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands.
If native is bringing turtles north
he nails them fast TO the deck by thoiI
hippers. Strange creatures that they
are, they appear to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
