r. ERHAPS the oldest method OF
- catching Ash Ia that employed by
the Chinese who live on the
banks OF the North River In the
province Of Kwang-tung. They do not
use hooks or line. nets or spears. but
birds 10 catch the ash with which the
river teens.
The birds are cormorants. and they
are most ungainly and unbelievably
ugly. II In natural for them to dive In
the water and catch fsh, and the Chin
csc turn this to their advantage. They
slip q brass ring over the cormorant's
bill and head and push II down far
enough on the neck to contract the
throat 30 the bird cannot swallow the
fish It catches. Consequently. when the
bird has caught fish In its beak, II re-
turns to It's master, who takss the prize
away and sends the bird oat to catch
another,
Usually the fisherman has two or three
birds which he takes out to the hshing
grounds on q raft made of four or fve
pieces Of bamboo dashed together. The
birds arc often seen perciNd on the ends
OF the raft while their master propels II
from the place In the middle with the
fishing basket In front Of him.
The price of a good fishing cormorant
Is about SO. Some OF them. however. are
bad-tempered and are erratic In their
work, and they fetch n lower price.
