Text Appearing Before Image:
r food. It is found of all sizes, from oneinch long to more than a yard. Its mouth is at one end, and sur-rounded by what you would think were the petals of an elegantflower. But the wise men call them tentacula, and they take theplace of arms, and are organs of feeling to him. The South Sea Islanders will not touch one of them, while theChinese devour them as a luxury. But the Chinese eat rats andpuppies, you know, so we cant expect them to be very dainty. Thousands of Chinese boats are sent out every year to fish forSea Cucumbers. Huts and furnaces spring up on the shore as ifby magic. They catch them either by spearing, or diving andseizing them in the hands. As soon as they are brought ashorethey are boiled, then flattened with stones, and spread out on bam-boo nets to dry. When dry they are smoked, and are then supposedto be fit to eat, though one traveler, who did not like them, saysthey look like sausages rolled in the mud and then thrown up thechimney. IN FEATHERS AND FUR. 249
