HOW MALAYS CATCH SHARKS. Occasionally we word frombled with sharks, but the Malays did not appear to be very much afraid of them. On the contrary, our divers Fought them, Their aetud of capturing sharks, by the way, was almost incredible in ita simplicity and daring. Three or four of our. divors weald go out in a boat and silow thez- selves to drift into a big school of sharks. Then one man, possessed of were nerve than "the rest, would boud oror the silo and smartly prick the first shark he came across with a pear taken out for the purpose. The mo ment he had succeeded in this the other op cupants of the boat would emence yelling. and howling at the top of their voices, at the same time beating the water with their paddles, in order to frighten auuy the sharks, This invariably moccoded, but, amazing to relate, the shark that had been prisked alwave samo bark alura a few micutes later to see what it was that a pricked him. When he is seen coming in the direction of the boat, the Malay wie has accosted him in this way quietly diyos overboard, armed only with his small knife and a short stick of hard wood, oxactly like a bat oher's ekewer, about five inches in length, and pointed at esch ond. The man floats station- ary on the furfure of the se, aud, naturally. the shark makes for him. As the creature rolls. over to bite, the wily Malay glue out of his way with a law deft strokos of the left band, whilst with the right he deliberately plants the printed akewer in an upright position betwon the open jaws of the expectant shark. The roruit in simple, but surprising. The sheek is, of oarse, unable to cloro its mouth, and the water rushes down his throat and drowns him Nadless to ramark, it requiros the prostest possible sout but there to kill a shock, in this way but the Malays look open it ex favorite recreation and an exciting aport When the monster is dead ile shayar dezternly climbs on to its tack saddlewise, and thoz, digging is kaip into the shark's head to sorra as a support and means of balance, the Malay uses his own legs ar padles and so rides the Tese so to speak, back to the host-FUIS DE POEG Mast in Wids World Magazine,
