I fastened the grapple securely to the head of the dead monster, and leaving the athaleb to feed upon it, Almah and I went up the beach.
On our way we found rocks covered with sea-weed, and here we sought after shell-fish.

Our search was at length rewarded, for suddenly I stumbled upon a place where I found some lobsters.

I grasped two of these, but the others escaped.

Here at last I had found signs of life, but they were of the sea rather than of the shore.

Delighted with my prey, I hastened to Almah to show them to her.
