Text Appearing Before Image:
trate to every nook and crevice ofthe rocky bottom. In this deeper part of the ocean some of the fishes had aphosphorescent light of their own, and these could be seen farahead, as if they were lanterns. The explorers met a schoolof argonauts going up to the surface for a sail, and the childwatched these strange creatures with much curiosity. Theargonauts live in shells, in which they are able to hide in caseof danger from prowling wolf fishes; but otherwise theycrawl out and carry their shells like humps upon their backs.Then they spread their skinny sails above them and sail awayunder water till they come to the surface, where they floatand let the currents of air carry them along the same as thecurrents of water had done before. Trot thought the argo-nauts comical little creatures, with their big eyes and sharpnoses, and to her they looked like a fleet of tiny ships. It is said that men got their first idea of boats, and of howto sail them, from watching these little argonauts. 108
