Uncle Ruy's Corner

Pearls are found inside the shells
Of many oysters. This fact has led
hundreds of men to follow the trade
of pearl diving"
Most pearl divers work in the
warmer parts of the ocean. We find
them at work off the coasts of such
islands as the West Indies, the East
Indies and Ceylon. The Persian Gulf
is another place where pearl oysters
are common.
Pearl oysters may be gathered by
dredging, or by men working in div
ing suits. Yet the pearl divers
want to describe today are those
who go to the bottom without the
help of diving suits.
Arabs, Hindus and Negroes are
among those who go down for the
pearls. Wearing very little in the
way of a bathing suit, a diver
catches hold of a rope and puts one
of his feet through a loop on the top
of a stone.
The stone weighs about 40 pounds.
1t is needed so the man will be able
to sink to the bottom without trou-
BILE.
The oysters are found in beds
from 40 to IS feet below the surface

dummy, there would seem to be no
good reason to postpone the draw
ing OF trumps, unless dummy's
trumps are required for purposes of
entry. In today's hand we find a
situation in which no entries are
required to dummy, there Is appar-
emily no short suit and yet trumps
should not be drawn because Of the
rare phenomenon of a three card
suit In dummy being converted into
a ruf1ing value.
The bidding was normal. After
North's response of one no trump,
South elected to make the strongly
invitational jump rebid of three
spades. He might have raised the
no trump but the singleton heart
and the completely defenseless club
suit Influenced him in favor of
spades. 1t is borderline for a Jump
but the hand does possess a prob
able playing trick strength of seven
tricks which the jump rebid prom
iSes. North, having sound no trump
take-out, went on to four spades,
though some players prefer with the
balanced distribution to 60 on in no
trump, giving partner the oppertun-
ity to continue in spades If his hand
Is completely unbalanced.
The king Of clubs was opened. The
defense took three tricks in that
suit and shifted to heart. Declarer
Immediately extracted trumps and
trusted that the diamonds would
break. When this failed to mater
ialize, the contract was set for Q
trick.
Declarer's technique was faulty.
There was no need for him to as
sumo diamonds would break. He
should have cashed only two trumps
and then proceeded to play the ace,
king, and queen of diamonds. If
everybody followed, so that the 18th
diamond became good, the last
trump would be extracted and the
hand claimed. If the diamonds did
not fall, there was the added chance
that the player who was unable to
follow to the diamond would not
have the remaining trump.
II it is argued that the third dia-
mond might be ruffed by the oppo-
sition, the answer Is that in that
case it would have done no good to
draw trumps, because a diamond
trick would have been lost in any
event, so that there was no way to
make the hand. The recommended
play will succeed whenever dia-
monds break or whenever the hand
with doubleton diamond also has
doubleton trump.
