in the water behind him and yem saw the loom of
a long, brown shark.
Hey bout ship" he yelled. 'Took out,

The crew slapped boat in the water and made
for the Jap. He'd the fin and his
side swimming like an otter. Jem grabbed rife
and sent bullet through the shark
The crew forgot all about the Jap and made for
the shark. One chopped it with parang and they
yelled with glee as they made fast to the still
thrashing brute.

Jem hailed the lugger after breakfast but there

Listen you, and that dirty, slant-eyed scum.
He found that pearl dropped all right. But don't
think you can get away with it." ~
Shut your face. That diver was swimming for

shark got him at that. He's got no pearl.

were so few and far between that they could only
be called ncidentals, sort of. Though that didn't
stop the openers looking for them.
There were lots of freelance luggers proving
the grounds. Usually a white man, couple Of
Kanaka crew, two handlers and Jap or Manila
diver.
Those freelance pearlers opened their shell soon
as it hit the deck and you'd hear yell across the
ocean if pearl was found. Then the owner
would row to the nearest lugger and all hanas
would gather round to look at it, touch it, taste it
and roll it on a cloth.
That's another trick, rolling pearl l mean.
If the pearl rolls in a straight line it's perfect
round" and valuable as such. Sometimes they're
oval pear shaped, then their value is great if
a true mate can be found.
Pearl buyers come from all over the world to
those honky tonk pearng settlements. Great men
from the houses of New York London and Paris.
They put up in the tiny frame hotel, hobnob with
the natives and carry thousands of pounds in their
pockets ready for a quick bargain.
Then there are 'snide buyers.
"Snides" are stolen pearls.
It's harder to steal a pearl and get away with
it than you think
Divers and natives have no business with pearls.
Everyone knows who has the luggers and they
are the only people with the right to own pearls.

He held out a shimmering thing in his fingers.

your hand about the size of marble.
Look out!' Jem called. "You mi"
But the lugger against his rail, lurched
and the man, George Billings, fell backwards,
grabbed line and dropped that lovely pearl over
board!
He stared for long minute like a lost one.
Then he hammered his fists on the rail of his
lugger until his hands bled

luck, chum But you send down your diver
in the morning, you might find it.
At dawn Billings sent his Jap diver oversize.
He held the lifeline himself and drove the Jap
below everytime he surfaced.
At last the Jap pleaded he could go down no
more and his master laid him on deck and searched
him from hair to toenails.
That night there was hell of fight aboard
the lugger. The man was drunk again and shout
ing at the Jap and Jem heard him sing out couple
of times.
Towards morning he heard something on his
own craft.

bores through the shell. The oyster throws few
skins of nacre around it just like making pearl.
That'd kill the insect, but usually mud sifted in
through the tiny hole it d made Then the blister
would be full of mud and not worth more than
pound or So Sometimes the hole was stopped and
then that blister held pearl worth thousand
times as much
So Jem would search carefully But he knew
that the whole crew would be watching every move
he made. Those lasears would have his heart out
for forty grain pearl.
If he found the hard roundness amid the Shiny
gristle of the oyster he'd palm it until he could
open more oysters. He'd be wild to examine the
pearl but he dared not. Then, after a bit he'd
stretch, reach for his pipe pocket the pearl and go
below and put that pearl away in the SAFE
Funny thing about pearls, he told me. You can
hardly ever tell whether pearl is good or not
raw pearl usually has few spots or blemshes on
itxRpt like the shimmering thing you see in jewel
And to get those spots off the pearl is
skinned.
The skinning is done with little three edged
file, carefully, delcately so that only skin is
cut at time. Slowly the pearl is peeled until
whole, fawless skin is left. Then it's ready for
the buyers.
But the shell was the most important part of
the catch. The money maker, 1 mean. Pearls

the principles of good food selec-

numerous values in teaching and
