TinTLE HUNTING A FAVORITE
S*rORT ON THE BEACHES.

Weeks Longer and Hnnters Are
•Making: the Most of It—How the
Turtle Lays Her Eggs and Protects
Thera— Stories of Turtle Hunts at
Warsaw and Tybee.
One of the favorite summer sports of
the fishermen and marooners of Savan
nah Is turtle hunting on the sandy beaches
of the neighboring islands where from
May to August the turtles come out to
lay their eggs. #
On the long fiat stretches of sand the
mother turtle crawls about a hundred
feet or more from the water line and
there, with her flippers scooping out a
round hole from two feet to three feet
de*p. deposits her eggs, often three hun
dr and or more, covering every fifty or so
with a thin layer of sand and putting a
final layer of considerable thickness over
the top of the nest nfter her maternal du
ties are finished. This final filling in of
the nest she smoothes off even with the
beach and after making the surroundings
es near as possible like the remainder of
the beach, if undisturbed, crawls back
to the water with the pleasing conscious
ness of duty well-performed and the con
fident conviction that in n short time her
maternal heart will be gladdened with a
numerous progeny.
Even when she escapes with her life,
how'ever, her hopes of a family are of
ten disappointed, for turtle eggs are con
ceded to be a delicacy by nearly every
body who has tried them, from the green
est cracker whose only conception of a
turtle is the pound and a half terrapin of
the inland swamps and pzrnds, to the most
accomplished epicure familiar with the
celebrated dishes of every land; and it is
this toothsomenrss of her product that
lfads to the undoing of the turtles hopes
for during the season of her laying, the
n a sts are sought for continuously, and
many of them found and rebbed of their
contents. The method of search is very
s'mple; where the tracks of the turtle are
feund leading up the beach they are fol
lowed. and the ground at various points
along the trail tested by means of stick
ing into the sand a slender rod or walk
ing cane. The nfst is distinguished when
reached by the ready yielding of the sand
anl then the hunters, with their hands,
scorp out the Fand and appropriate the
eggs.
But it is in finding and s?curlr.g the
tur le Itself that the hunter finds the
greatest p’easure. The hunt is almost al
ways made at night and preferably during
moonlight. The condit ons are best about
the middle of May, during a full moon,
ard in the early morning hours. Then
skirting the water line, the hunters w r alk
alorg the beach, keeping a sharp look out
for tracks as they pass along, and an even
sharper look out ahead, for the creature
itself. On a clear night the great lum
bering animal can be distinguished a long
way off. When one is sighted the hunters
determine their further proceedings in ac
cordance with the position of the crea
ture in respect to ihe nearness of the wa
ter line and its evident intentions.
Jf on its way to make a nest
■which is known by its crawling up the
sand and away from the water there is no
particular need to hurry as unless dis
turbed the turtle will not return to the
water untij she has deposited her eggs.
usually the hunters are content to wait
a safe distance away until the nest has
been completed and the actual laying of
the pggs begun, then they may approach
with Impunity for the turtle once on the
nest will not move until she has completed
her task. Then and not till then will she
consult her safety by flight and it is when
she commences her retreat to the water
that the hunters secure her by catching
the side of the shell and turning her over
on her back when she lies helpless and
can only fan her mighty and powerful
flippers in wrathy impotence.
The turtle Is a firm believer that dis
cretion is the better part of valor hence
rhe shows fight only when cornered and
hns no way of escape; should she catch
sight of her natural enemy, man,
before she has begun to lay she will
at once beat a hasty retreat toward
the water, scaling the hard beach and
throwing back quantities of sand in her
haste. But when she is brought to bay
she will both bite end strike heavy blows
•with her flippers, and these must be care
fully avoided while she is being turned
cn her back.
It is owing to her efforts to injure her
enemies that her final undoing is accom
plished for. like mot of the family, Tes
tudlnata. the turtle, can draiv its head into
the shell end close its flippers close to
its sides, making itself practically im
pervious to attacks. This its captor
knows, and so when ready to slaughter
lt.r*okes its head with a stick until, to seize
the annoyance, the animal extends Its
head when it is cut off by n well directed
blow with hatchet or ax.
Some persons claim that there can be
found In the turtle portions that taste
I'ke end resemble in appearance chicken
meat, veal, and beefsteak, but the aver*
age marooner finds in the turtle only tur
tle, which both in texture and taste,*
closely resembles beefsteak.
Turtles ore still quite numerous on War
saw, though not nearly so plentiful as
they were several years ago, when as
many as nine have been turned in one
night. They average in size from the
comparative small one of one hundred
pounds to five hundred pounds, and in ex
ceptional cases, six hundred. One caught
seven years ago, weighed fifty pounds
more than the last number, and establish
ed a record for large turtles that has since
remained unbroken. A few have been
caught during the present season, but
no very large one. Only last week one
was caught under exceptional conditions;
it crawled out on the beach of Cabbage
Island during the broad daylight. Its
life paid for Its temerity, however, for
it was seen by a negro fisherman who
forsook his lines for the bigger game and
succeeded in bagging it.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1M).
SHIRT WAIST MAY WINS.
Aatnr linos, Walters Woaldn't Serve
Him, bat He Argaeil It Out.
From the New York Journal.
The Alan In the Shirt Waist is meeting
with all the different kinds of discourage
ment that the professional martyr encoun
ters. He is being put out of restaurants,
barred from roof gardens, and when those
things are not occurring to him he is be
ing sneered at by hts fellow citizens.
This Alan in the Shirt Waist Is just a
plain summer man, without any coat or
waistcoat. He wears a pink or blue shirt,
and his trousers are held in place with a
belt. The innovation consists In the fact
that he leaves his coat at home. From
the standpoint of logic he Is all right.
What there Is against him is that he is
a novelty, and that he looks so aggravat
ingly cool.
Into the Astor House dining room went
the Man in the Shirt Waist yesterday af
ternoon. He took a seat. The cashier's
hands went up in horror. Three waiters
gazed in alarm at the presence. Some
guests who were eating braised beef did
not look at all interested* or frightened.
A waiter came up and said In severe ac
cents to the Alan in the Shirt Waist:
"Have you no coat?”
"No," replied the M. in the S. W.
"Well, then,” the waiter decided in the
manner of giving one an ultimatum, "we
decline to serve you.”
The Al. in the S. W. went up to the sol
emn and be-spectaeled cashier and ap
pealed.
"You are in shirt sleeves.” the cashier
said, frigidly. "My orders are not to ad
mit men in their shirt sleeves.”
"But,” argued the man, "haven’t you
heard of the new fashion? I left my coat
at home, not because I haven’t one, but
because I don’t need it.”
"I have no instructions to argue the
matter,” the cashier replied. "You ore
In your shirt sleeves, sir, and that set
tles it.”
' But at Newport,” continued the man,
“everyone goes around like this, the Van
derbilts, the Astors and the—well, all the
rest of those fellows.”
"The millionaires?” inquired the cashier
beginning to relent.
”Yes,’’ the man answered. "The million
aires. It's the new fashion, just introduc
ed."
"No one ever dined at the Astor House
in his shirt sleeves,” the cashier said,
shaking his head. Then he thought a mo
ment and a'ked. "You say the million
aires are doing it and that it’s the fash
ion?”
"Yes," explained the man, "and hotel
keepers who don’t line up may be sued
for all sorts of money and have to pay
it, too. Now, may I eat here?”
"Well,” the cashier said, “of course, if
it's the fashion it will have to go, but I
have my suspicions. You see we never
know anything here and it may be as you
say. However, I’ll give you ih benefit
of the doubt. Sit down and I’ll send you a
waiter.”
The man in the shirt waist had wen the
day. He sat down and had some wine
with his braised beef. The waiters looked
at him askance. Then they circulated the
news about the lately (angled fashion
and agreed that the man in the shirt waist
was exceedingly correct and up to date,
and not a man in his shirt sleeves as they
suspected at the start.
The missionary man In the shirt waist
is having all sorts of trouble with the
waiters in Philadelphia. Two of him were
thrown out of Chestnut Hill Rark the oth
er day. He Is being ejected from restau
rants more often than here, as Quaker
City caterers are not open to reason, but
do as their grandfathers did.
But the man in the shirt waist has come
to stay, all right.
