Sivu 12 - Europe are scarcely deemed worthy to be caught, and then for sport rather than food, are in China utilised and form the subject of an extensive commerce as the staple food of a large section of the inhabitants. Even the repulsive and hostile shark of the Western Nations becomes an article of commercial value in China, and is habitually treated as an article of food for the million without dismay by the ancient Oriental wisdom. In conclusion, attention may again be drawn to the peculiar nature of...
Sivu 6 - By these and other contrivances, the Chinese capture the finny tribes, and it is no surprise to hear that China contains as many millions of people as there are days in the year, when one sees upon what a large proportion of them feed, and how they live.
Sivu 8 - is said to be a huge sea monster ; the teeth at the cutwater define its mouth, while the long boards on each side of the bow form the armature of the head, the eyes being painted on them ; the masts and sails are the fins, and the high stern is the tail frisking aloft.
