		Reach across the e-waves and send a friend a virtual greeting from National Geographic Magazine. Flashback Shell Game And they’re off! But the rider in this “turtle derby” was soon unseated by the fast-flipper dive of his mount. Visitors to Australia’s Mast Head Islet in the 1930s entertained themselves by slipping reins on and climbing on green turtles’ shells while they slept.
