TURTLE-RlDiNe AS A SPORT.
Recognized Pastime on Peak Island,
Queensland.

1t was o'clock in the evening when
we landed upon Peak island, Queens
land, says William Broun in the Janu-
AIRY Wide World magazine. and by 10
o'clock we had turned some AZ turtles
1t was bright moonlight night, and
after partaking of tea we crawled up
to the top OF the island and pitched
our tent. We were up soon after sun
rise next morning, all excitement, for
we were about to indulge in the novel
sport of turtle-riding. Our camp was
situated some 400 feet above sea level
and from this point of vantage we had
clear view of the island which is only
about mile or two in circumference
After a hurried breakfast we repaired
to the beach and found our "steeds
upon their backs, just as we lad left
them the night before.
Some donned bathing suits. while
others We're in their pajamas, ready
for the fun. Quickly we turned, our
mounts, when they at once made
straight for the water. We jumped
| upon their backs, and it was a queer
| sensation to find oneself upon a slowly
moving mass, aiming for the sea inn
mediately in front of you. The turtles
| seemed pleased when they shifted the
water. and then we began to wonder
| what would happen next. You cannot
| stand upon these steeds once they have
| reached the water, SO we had to change
| cur standing position into a sitting
| posture the moment the creatures goi
| into about 4 foot of water. If travel
| ing over the land wfs slow work, il
| was different when the water was
| reached. A turtle is by no means SLOW

\ pace.

fins are working furiously, making 8
terrible splash, while the head is con
tinuously being jerked forward, fol-
lowed by omincus grunts. The leasi
