The diver goes down with one foot on a stone or motal "sinker": attached to a rope. With his free hand he graeps another rope, to which is attached a not bag for the oysters. When the water is calm the course of his lithe brown body can be followed to the bottom. He shovels the shells hastily into the not bag, pulls at the rope, and is hauled to the surface by the munduck. The Arab shoots up with hie hand on the net bag, the Tamil abandons the rope half-way up and swims to the surface. The divore work in pairs, and their accumulated shells are packed into bags on the deck of the dhonoy. A small fire burns on the aft part of the dhoney, and when they feel cold "the divers gather round the glow for a few minutes; but they do not waste much time.
