Some natives of the South Seas catch fish by spearing them; others shoot them with bow and arrow; but others manage to catch fish without any weapons. The method is to select a epot where the water flows swiftly, and there build a big ring of stones with a narrow inlet. The fish arc swept into the circle by the current, and are unable to escape. The native thrn puts his hand into the water and snatches them out.
