8. Basket. This is woven in the manner of wicker chairs, with the opening" 

 on the top, and standing about one foot high. J J 'ana."" ina and haukeukc" are used as 

 bait. The place of this method of fishing is in the sea, in coral, flat bottom and rocky 

 places. The basket is placed in position and the man swims away. When the fishes 

 enter [the basket] the man collects them. The fish caught is liinalca only, and no 

 other kind. 



9. Basket with a large opening. A large basket, two feet high, for deep sea 

 fishing. These are the fishes caught: Panulninitliu.'' halahala, uhn. 



10. Ulniilu net. Two sticks each a yard long, the net a yard wide. The place 

 for fishing is in the sea. The fishes are in holes ; there is where this net is used. 

 One man holds the net on one side of the hole, and another man with a pole stirs up 

 the water in the hole to drive the fish into the net. The fish to l)e caught are the kuiiiii," 

 the ///;//. and so forth. 



11. The sea net. This net is called by fishermen, the "mouth of a shark;" the 

 iiliiuln net (No. 10) the "belly of the shark," and the liinalca fishing basket (No. 8) the 

 "eve of the shark." In these kinds of fishing fishermen are liable to be eaten by sharks, 

 hence the expressions. The placing of the net is done down in the deep sea. One 

 dives down, clears away the rocks and places the net in position, then the fish enter. 



12. Spearing. It is a long pole, three yards long, with a very sharp-])ointed 

 piece of iron*" half an arm's length at one end. This method of fishing is not suited to 

 those who do not know how to dive, but only to those who are long-winded in diving and 

 know how to sj^ear. A fisherman dives and stays down, and the way he stays down is 

 bv grasping the bottom with one hand, while the other holds the sj^ear, watching for a 

 fish to come around, and when it does come in sight it is speared ; all kinds of fish in 

 the ocean. The length of time it takes to stay down is about half an hour, but in case a 

 shark is encountered, fully one whole hovu" may be taken in staying down in the deep. 

 How wonderful !*'' 



13. Drawing net. It is a large net eighteen fathoms long and seven feet wide. 

 It is a net drawn through the sea, two men holding it, while four men drive in the fish. 



14. A hulilinli'" net. It is taken and placed in ]x>sition in the sea. Then the 

 rocks are turned over, thus driving the fish into the net. 



15. Paknikni ( thrashing) net. A man swims seaward drawing the net, while an- 

 other man thrashes the sea from the land side. On account of the noise the fishes run in- 

 to the net.
