TREPANG SEEKERS.

THE CHINA MAIL.

One of the most important in dustrica in Barrier Reef waters is trepang fishing, Chins yearly can sames great amonals of this delicaty, and the soup which is made from it is, not inferior to turtle soap. The "er singa" are prepared by being boiled and then dried and stewed in fresh water, Finally, they are submitted to s long-continued smoking process, writes Frank Reid in the Sydney Sus, The method of tumpang-fishing is very simple. The owner of a boat, generally a white man, Malay, or Japanese, lita out bis craft with a grew of aboriginals. He and his men re- main on or near the reefs collect ing trepang and preserving them on the spot, till either their boat is fully loaded, or their store of provis ione exhausted. Then they return to Cooktown or Tharaday Island. Tre pang are picked off the reefs at low tide; those hidden below the water are apeared or captated by diving.

I worked for five years on a trepang lagger, and one of the first things noticed was that the aboriginale were not greatly afraid of sharks. A diver may lose a lug or arm, or be carried off bodily, if a shark approaches an sees.

The divers attempted to, re- Iross their comrade by forcing the lips of the clam with iron bars, but as they were not clad in rubber suits, this was alow work. After an hour'e constant diving the dead man was brought to the surface.

During the 1919 cyclone, which capred so much damage to Cairns and other towns in North Queensland, a Japanese skipper of a lugger which was operating on a trepang bed off Cocktown was swept overboard a midnight: Owing to the roar of the wind bis eurcams did not reach the ears of the crew. The skipper for tuantely managed to grasp a rope which was trailing behind the Ingger, but the rough sea provented him climbing on board. When rescued at daylight the rope had almost cat through both hands, and they had to be amputated when the lugger reached port.

I recall two stories of narrow escapes. One concerns young Japanese diver, who was taking a crayfish to the curface, and suddenly found himself in a furious engage- Although trepang divers are not ment.

During the journey he grew so weak that the black women had to steer the ship while he lay in the cabin with his eye banging out of his head. Dr. Balter, of Thursday Island, performed a plasticoperation on the damaged cheek, covering the wound by a piece of skin taken from the patient's a'm..

Several trepang divers have lost arms and legs through meeting one of these huge fish under the water. Aboriginala have told me that sharks will circle around their prey several times before attacking, and thus offer a chance of escape, but that the cod, hiding in a rocky cavern, maker one dash at a asked diver and never misses.
