been modernized; neither machinery
nor the t ru hi haw yet Invaded It.
A pearl buyer give* to the Youths

the Indian Ocean and the 1'erslan
Gulf, and of the hurgulnlng that fol
io w? when they dls^to of the
'-Vtttch?"
A pearl fisher's boat may contain
ax many an eiKhty Arab fishermen.
L'\ery two or three minutes thirty
of thd men dive, made fast /to ropes
that their companions hold/ The
only apparatus they use Ih a small
bone clip that compresses the nos
trlls? and leather finger stalls to
protect them from the cuts to which
l he fisherman Ih liable in tearing
tin' shells off <the rocks, Kaoh man
carried a small basket in front of
him, and a atone Is tied to hit* waist
to help carry him to the bottom.
A dive usually ' lasts fr<5m two to
five minutes, although a record {
for five minuten lias been establish
ed. 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. Hut when this j
happens, the joy in the boat is j
^reat. i'istol shots announce the
news, which spreads from boat to
boat along the whole length of the
fishing bank, and finally to the j
mainland, where nothing is talked
of except the water, shape and col- 1
-ui of fne newiy-fouTTd prize.
On his return to his native village,
the master fisherman disposes of
the pearls lie Iuih taken to the maitv
who lias allowed him food on credit.
This man, in turn, sells the pearls'
in i lie Gulf market or at Bombay, j
Here the Arab brroker takes a hand,
hi the presence of the buyer and
the vender, he offers up a prayer
to Allah. Next, lie compliments the :
owner of the pearl, compares his >
voice to that, of a nightingale, and ]
praises his family and his i n tell i- j
gonce. So the transaction drags on. I
For a pearr'l worth $2,000 the bro- j
ker does not hesitate to ask $10,* |
ooo. For a week, if necessary, lie-j
keeps his client in sight; he eats j
and sleeps with him. Finally, they ?
come to terms. The dealer emb- j
races t Uo other, weeps over hiui, j
and, to set a seal upon the bargain,
rrepeats a prayer. In the* course |
of the negotiation he never quotes
a figure; a handkerchief over his 1
hands, hides from prying eyes the |
movements of his fingers that indi
cate l>i|ls. ? Many a white man, un- j
accustomed to this. way of. doing, bus"!
?iness, has been robbed accordingly!
