After all his effort it did not seem right to pry him loose again 
to try the stiuit all over again, but pictures roust be imde, and pictures 
always require several "takes." And then, of course, we must put two of 
the crabs on the bottom with only one bonnet. Each time tliey both battled 
mnfully for the sponge, but tine rooment one got himself solidly under it,

will have to wait for the return of the other camera and the close-ups.

died, I took no cliances, but had it moved to one of the pens where wo do
