33 페이지 - The best oysfcr beds are said to be level, and formed of the fine whitish sand, overlying the coral, in clear water. A mixture of mud or earthy substance with the sand is considered to be detrimental to the pearl ; and the beds having this defect are liable to exhaustion.

The diver strips, closes his nostrils with pincers, has a rope attached...
