? ?RVEY OF THE INTEI??ROPICAL into &socket, at the end of a staffof light wood, abo?kas thick as &, man's wrist, and about seven or eight feet long: to the staff is tied one end ofa ]ooee llne about three or four fatholn8 long, the other end of which i8 fastened to the peg... To strike the turtle, the peg is ?xed into the socket, and when it has entered !?. body, and is re- rained there by the barb, the staff flies off' and serves for a float to trace their victim in the water; it assists also to tire }?Im; ? they can overtake him with their canoes and haul Mm on shore. One of these Po?s, as I have mentioned already, w e found in the body turtle, which had healed up over it. Their lines are from the dL?k- heSS of a half-inch rope to the fineness of a heir, and m'e made of some vegetable substance, but what in particular we had no oppor- touity to learn." HAWwRSWOitTH'S (?e?, VOl. ill, The above method differs only from that used by the natives of Rockinghem Bay and Cape Flirttiers; in that the float is another piece of light buoyant wood--the staff' being retained in hh hand when the turtle is struck. The re4tder will hem recognize, in this instrument, s striking resemblance to the ? and Asffee?, tho weapons which Captain Parry describes the Emt, fi,,uux to use in spearing the seal and whale.
