It was a magnificent exhibition of agility combined with skill. The Malays also captured many victims with their casting-nets. It is customary for each to consider as his personal property all the fish he obtains.
So he sent a hundred fishermen out; and they got ready all kinds of fishing-tackle, drag-nets, casting-nets, seine-nets, bow-nets, and fishing-lines; and they tacked and turned and cruised in all directions until at last they caught a dragon; then they took out its heart and brought it to the King, who gave it to the Queen to cook and eat.
