`` Feng shui in disa place , no likee we , '' announced Charlie . `` Feng shui , who are they ? '' Charlie promptly became incoherent on this subject , and Moran and Wilbur could only guess that the Feng shui were the tutelary deities that presided over that portion of Magdalena Bay . At any rate , there were evidently no more shark to be caught in that fishing-ground ; so sail was made , and by noon the `` Bertha Millner '' tied up to the kelp on the opposite side of the inlet , about half a mile from the shore . The shark were plentiful here and the fishing went forward again as before . Certain of these shark were hauled aboard , stunned by a blow on the nose , and their fins cut off . The Chinamen packed these fins away in separate kegs .
