CURIOUS FISHING CUSTOMS.
The Feast That Follows the Capture 81
Turtle In MADAGASCAR.

Some Of the turtles OF Madagascar
are oval La form and very fat and
plump; others are much thinner and
fiat. In order to catch them the ma
tives go out to sea In the early morn
ing when the ocean Is very smooth and
the turtles come 10 the surface TO en-
JOY their morning nap. They use a
kind Of harpoon about twelve feet long,
shod with piece Of barbed iron and
attached to strong rope couple OF
hundred yards In length. The fishers
approach the sleeping animal with
great care, says James Sibree in "A
Naturalist In Madagascar" for when
II is struck 1t dives down Immediately.
and the fisherman, If he refuses to let
go the rope, dives with 1t, SO he tries
to make the first blow q mortal one.
AS soon as the turtle Is caught the
captors make for the shore, and all the
people gather to share In the feast.
No one Is allowed to bring anything
from a house to the spot. The animal
must be wrenched open and cut in
pieces with the knives that belong to
the canoe. 1t must be cooked In sea
water In It's own shell and served In
scoops or other vessels from the canoe
or in pieces Of turtle shell. None of
the flesh can be taken into house to
be cooked or eaten there. All these
and several other precautions are an
cestral customs, and II they were not
religiously observed the turtles would
disappear, according to universal be-
lief.
The natives of the northwest coast
give a curious account Of fish that
they call the handy, which is about as
long as mans arm and as big around
as mans thigh. It's dorsal fin, they
say, is like brush, and it is smeared
with sticky liquid not unlike glue.
When 1t catches another fish 1t holds
1t with this sticky brush, and the cap
tive cannot get away. The people
make use Of this popularity In their
own fishing. When they have caught
handy they confine 1t in light cage.
which they fasten In the sea. They
feed the handy daily with cooked rice
or small fish, and when they want to
use it they tie a long cord around its
tail and follow In a canoe When 1t
fastens on fish they pull it In and
seize the spoil for themselves.
