TRAVELETTE
CAYMAN ISLANDS.
By NIKSAH.


THE Cayman islands. dependencies
OF Jamaica, are the turtle
= hunters paradise. The largest
OF the group, Grand Cayman, has the
finest turtle fisheries in the world
Columbus called the island Las Tor
tugas from the abundance Of the spe-
cies- Only the green species are
sought: the hornbilled and the log
gerhead are best left alone. This
green species, the original of the dish
on the menu card. however. sbounds
on Grand Cayman and the natives OF
the island are almost all fishermen
The turtle may be hunted in three
ways: the female may be waylaid as
she returns from depositing her eggs
on the shore: they may be speared or
harpooned in the open sea. or they
may be entaRgled in nets. This last
method appeals 10 the sporting in
the one usually employed. The huge
nets are made from the leaves of the
thatch palm. The task is done by
hand and the nets when finished ara
strong enough to defy the largest
turtle.
The fishing expeditions are often
out for weeks at A time The turtle
hunters refuse to return until their
boats are full. The schooners full.
the cargo is taken to Jamaica and
stored alive in the kraals until they
are shipped The reptiles protest
vigorously, but on their she'll
armoured backs they are helpless
They wave their ungainly fins and
sigh and moan continually Perhaps
the shadow Of their approaching fate
darkens their reDtilian souls. Even
a turtle would blush at the prices
charged for green turtle soup in most
of our restaurants.
