Wh?ii 4 he diver* com^ to the j surface, they are greatly exhausted; j often they are half-suffoeated. How- ? ever, after a rent of five mlnnteH ! they are ready to go down again. Most of these intrrepid toilers carry an amulet Kupposcd to protect them from fish, but they are often bitten. At night they have a meal of rice and dried dates. During the fourteen houra of their working day ! lihey take only an occasional cup of coffee. Many of the fishermen become ; deaf, and it is seldom t lint a man < continues at the business over five i yearn. ? 1 In the evening they open the oys- j t.eis, among which It. is rare to find j a pearl of value.
