Now and then a moving speck might be seen on the smooth sur- 

 face of the water from the boat. Sometimes close inspection would 

 enable the cause of the minute disturbance of the sea to be detected 

 in the form of a Caprella making strenuous efforts to swim, throwing 

 itself about like a letter S in agonies.
