DIVER'S LIFE.
ROMANCE AND DANGER.
PEARLS ON THE OCEAN FLOOR,
THE CHINA MAIL.
There is always a touch of romance! about the work of the diver, and in this article, in the Sydney Sun, a well known pearl fisherman at present in Sydney tells in an entertaining way fest what constitutes a day's work for those men who, clad in fantastic sits, grope about on the ocean bed in search of treasure.
Matsuriato Jugaro, whose house. address was via Kobe, Japan, at the matore age of 24 had reached the summit of his ambition: that he was a number one diver, in full charge of a fine lugger.
Having served a hard six years' apprenticeship, first as ordinary crew at £2 a month, then as try tender, No. 1 tender, and try diver at steadily increasing rates of pay, Matsu was new confident of his ability to raise seven tors of shell during the work. ing season, and to be a sever.con man is to command the admiration and respect of all-including the white
man.
With these comforting thoughts passing through his mind, Matsu pre pared for his night's res: in his snug little cabin. After having many huckets of sea water thrown over his body, be clothed it in singlet and pants of light blue danne, tucked himself in his bunk, and crooned his prayers in a sing song voice, whilst the tender, his cabin mate, was turn ing in. Then at 8 pm. light out. and sleep,
Ere sunrise the tender Mahihara Esicoro and drew are up and busy. Sallie bin Hassan, one of the Malay Crew, whose turn it is to do the cock ing for a week, is busy lighting the mangrove wood fire and getting ready the ingredients far baking bread. The other three of the crew are at the windlass rattling up the sleeping anchor to the merry claak of the pawls, while down below Matsu is leisurely donning his heavy woollen underclothing. As he arrives on deck a steaming hot cup of coffee is served out to all hands, and then the work of dressing the diver is accomplished. and just as the sun peers over the horizon. Matsu is on the overside ladder receiving the last careful attention of his tender. A slight tap on the helmet signals all ready, and, lurching gently bacit wards he slides into the depths steadying himself down by the plum per line with its heavy weight resting on the bottom, thirteen fathoms below. On arrival there Matsu signals "up plumper," and the day's, search for shell has begun.
THE SILENT DEEP.
His first look is at the composition of the sea bottom, which, to his satis faction indicates coed shell ground. With the exception of the throb, throb, throb of the pistons of the far-distant air pump, and the slight hissing of the exhaust valve on the helmet he is in citer silence. The water is clear, but, is not visible to him as water. There are no ripples to be caught by glancing rays of sun. He looks out of his face glass into a hazy sort of atmosphere, but can distinguish objects on the bot tem a full 12 yards away. A small fish seemingly floating in air glides lazily past him. then, in curiosity puts its nose right up against the face glass.
Walking along with the lumbering, seemingly lazy gait of the diver, pre- sently he comes across a small shrub, and knowingly puts his hand under neath its foliage and pulls out the pearl shell snugly hidden there, an other shrub, and another, quite a dozen all told, each yielding a nice medium-sized shell. This little planta. tion past, he notices a slight crinkle in the evenness of the smooth bottom. It's the elusive shell again, well buried in the soft ooze, but the opening and shutting of the bivalve has caused the little crinkle, and thus betrayed its whereabouts to the observant diver.
There is a tug at the life line-the tender's signal, to come up. Half an hour in 13 fathoms is quite long enough. So, slowly, very slowly, as he has been wisely taught, Matsu allows himself to be hauled to the surface. With helmet and corsele of, and seated on the cabin house, he with the rest bas breakfast, but for him it's a very meagre meal, for no good diver fills himself with food during working hours. ·
After this short spell Matsu des cends again.

FUTURE OF THE AIRSHIP.
ENTERPRISE DISCOURAGED,
The airship is in a bad way. The Admiralty have relected it once and for all, for naval purposes, and the Air Ministry, having no serious use for it. spend so little money on the mooring experiments at Pulham that the R. 36 has been badly damaged for lack of efficient winding gear. As the Air Ministry are only anxious to get rid of all their airships as rapidly as possible, and in all probability will be turning them over to the Disposal Board, it is natural that they should be reluctant toge to the expense of supplying fresh machinery ler a few weeks. But. the lack of the machinery, and the accident which resulted, will not encourage private enterprise to take over the British airships and run them as a commercial proposition. as in taking her air-pine and Heline it still has the chance of doing, to the blows of the lugger, so that she. At present, despite the offer of will rida hawe en to the tide and so the Ministry to make a free gift of offer the smallest resistance.
the diver on the other, and with a four-kant ride running: there is no hope of him pulling hand-over-hand on the pine up to the coral and s freeing himself, any more than there is of the crew doing a similar thing on the lugger Matsu fully realises, all this, also that by good luck the life line is free. The tender, too, is well aware of what has happened, and as already done the right thing
Matsu, by means of little pulls and shakes on the lifeline, similar to the Morse code, has ascertained that no
airships, material, and sheds, no private concern has come forward to undertake the risk, even on such other lucgers are in sight to be called generous terms, of running a com. mercial transcort service. The on for assistance, and has resigned, dificulties are the risk of accident to himself to wait until the tide turns, the airships, the complete uncer other three hours. Will the pipe tainty whether a commercial service hold, or will it become flattened out ard en render it impossible for the air to reach him? Matsu calmly re- views these possibilities, knowing that in the latter case the tender would cy: the pipe and haul bio up with the lifeline, provided the pipe, when cut, would ide round the coral cup.
But fate had not yet finished with him. He was not scared of sharks in the ordinary way he knew there for the timid creatures they really are, but being trussed up in his pre- sent helpless condition was another matter, and a pardonable little shiver of fear aroiled him, when, happen ing to look through the left side glass, he saw that grey hulk slowly calling past. There, he sees it through the front glass, now it's behind him. Again it comes to view on the left side, it's sailing round

Even before the war there was in Germany a certain amount of profit. able joy-riding in airships, and there. would be the same for a time within Great Britain and the Continent, Set the farce Would be high. The advantage of the air- ship over the aeroplane lies in its cap. arity to accomplish long-distance, non-stop journeys, and what it requires for solvency is a continuous systematic traffic in mals and pas centers at high rates. The venture would, in fact, be highly speculative, and however regrettable it may be, it is not astonishing that no one will undertake it. Had the Government been able at any time since the war to run one or two of the ships with mails as a branch of the Post Office, the commercial world would have had come trustworthy data to go
upon.
As the shark came in front again, Matsu gently inserted his right fore- finger under the rubber cuff of his left wrist, and, palling hard, released a stream of air in the direction of i the shark, and was enabled to catch a glimpse of the monster as it streaked arm was still intact, but something away.
