A law prohibiting the scaphander was promulgated in 1902, but is not effectively enforced. EGYPT. I went to Egypt in 1901 , after successful visits to Samos, Crete, Cyprus, and Timis. I encoimtered considerable opposition, but a beneficent law was at length promulgated in the spring of 1902, to be followed in the autunm by a similar decree for the whole Ottoman Empire. The Egyptian Government has always shown great interest and care for its sponge fishermen, having founded a colony for them nea...r the excellent harbor of Marsa Matruh, 160 kilometers west of Alexandria, and having also rigorously enforced the law by means of the coast guard. In 1906 a rich new bank, extending no miles from Abukir and having a width of I to 3 miles in a depth of 20 to 60 meters, was discovered by some Italian fishermen, who found sponges in their nets. This El Dorado, known as the bank of Port Said, after a most successful cruise thither by a vessel from Syme, attracted sponge fishermen from everywhere.
