The following vignette represents one of these spectre-shrimps prowling through the deep recesses of a submarinegraveyard, such as Clarence dreamt of when he said :— MetLouglit I saw a thousand fearful wrecks,A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,All scattered at the liottom of the lay in dead mens skulls; and in those holesWhere eyes did once inhabit, there were ciept(As twere in scorn of eyes) reflecting gems,That wood the slimy bottom of the deep,And mocked the dead bones that lay scattered CAPRELLA. 49 A MPHI POD A.
