From the powerful electric search lamps, suddenly, light breaks at each side of the cabin, through the two oblong crystal plates, separating us from the sea. The obscurity of the cabin shows to advan- tage the brightness outside, and what spectacle Is revealed to our bewildered vision-fowers, fungi. polypi, plants, shells and rock, a veritabie kaleidoscope of green, yellow, orange, violet and blue.
