CARTAGO BAY lies just above the heel of the giant foot of land which forms 

 Albemarle Island. It affords marine collectors an amazing variety of life rang- 

 ing from microscopic forms to immense Manta Rays like the one pictured 

 above, being hoisted aboard the Velero III. There's a native tradition that the 

 giant rays will wrap their wings around a small boat and dive for Davy Jones' 

 locker. This has not been demonstrated but one could easily swamp or capsize 

 a skiff. It took eight hours to land this specimen. The capture made interesting 

 motion picture material. Below are some tropical fishes.
