Renowned Pearl Diver Drowns

WEEPING STONES ISLANDS - Mulalu Chorafsen, one of the most successful pearl divers on the island of Choraf in the Weeping Stones Islands, has drowned. Chorafsen apparently forgot to remove a hemp charm bracelet from around his wrist, and the bracelet became entangled on the reef about 100 yards offshore from the main docks and the market of Choraf. A vigil is being held in the island temple so that friends and relatives may remember him in the coming days.
