Pearl Fishers.

1t is a well-known fact that pearl
fishers and divers do not live long.
They often have to dive for 100 feet
or more without any special outfit, and
the strain wears them out before their
lives are really half over. From a
depth Of 100 feet pearl diver usually
brings up two oyster shells at a time.
1t is exciting work. The diver never
knows whether he has brought to the
surface shell inclosing a priceless
gem or not. The Malay pearl divers
are, perhaps, the finest in the world
When he is going to dive, the Malay
slowly lowers himself down from the
side of the boat to the water and takes
several breaths, each breath getting
deeper and deeper. Finally, he takes a
tremendously long breath, turns head
downward, and plunges into the ocean
depths. In two, three or perhaps four,
minutes his form is seen in the water
coming up. His face is turned up
ward. His strong hands beat the wa
ter away from under him in vigorous
downward sweeps. His face looks ter
ribly strained. AT last, breathless, ex-
hausted, he reaches the surface and is
hauled into the boat, where he lies
emily exhausted But in comparative
ly few minutes he is ready to plunge
again.
