Most of the morning had gone, and our time for photographing this sort of 
action was over. We caught the octopus and the moray and took them up to 
the boat. Their day ivas finished. In a fe\T hours they would be Dr. Schmitt'

In the afternoon we wont to the location of the jawfish that had had

flatj, and the moment ha reached the home of another jawfish he popped into
