FEATS OF DIVERS
Remarkable Endurance of the Pearl!
Fishers of Torres
The greatest depth recorded of work I
done by a diver in a suit is 182 feet. I
This depth was relied by the Spanish'
diver. Angel firostarbe, wiho recovered
$4.1,000 111 silver ingots from the
wreck of th" steamship Skyro off Cape
Finisterre. Tlie sponge divers of the
Mediterranean work at a maximum of
150 feet and the Australian pearlers at
120 feet.
'
HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1915.
The greatest depths reached by div-|
ers without apparatus are used by the)
pearl Ushers of Torres, most/ly Malay
ans from the smaller islands. They go'
down with the aid of a stone and a]
loop in the rope thereto . attached,
which they clutch with their toes, these!
| organs being far more prehensile than
I in races normally shod. They seldom
j venture to descend below fifty feet, a
' depth ».t which they cun remain for
.1 two minutes. The stone enables them
, to remain at the bottom while they are
II sweeping the pearl oysters in#o a bas-
ket attached to the stone. When the '
diver feels that he must come up to I
breathe he releases his toes from the i
becket in the rope and at once floats i
to the surface. i
Young and healthy Malayan divers i
working ovster beds below six fathoms
make four descents an hour during four
hours in the morning and the same dur
ing four hours in the afternoon follow-1
ing a four-hour rest. A civilized man |
at a depth of forty-two feet finds such!
a dive intolerable after a single minute.

j "I can give you a cold bite," sai
the woman.
"Why not warm it up?" asked tl
tramp.
"There ain't any wood sawed."
I "Ho,' Well, give it to me cold. "-
