His eyes and his nose smarted and he choked. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. There was smoke down there and it was steadily grow- ing worse. Bobby didn’t understand how smoke could get down there, but there it was, and if he didn't do some- thing he was likely to choke to death. But what to do? He tried going far- ther along the passage, deeper into the ledge, but the smoke followed. He longed, oh how he longed, to rush out to the entrance and the fresh air there, but he knew that waiting there for him to do just that thing were the Dog and the hunters who had driven him into this retreat. ‘What should he do—go on farther down in the ledge. with the chance of being smothered there, or rush out to almost certain death at the hands of those hunters? Wasn't that a dread- ful predicament to be in? Do you wonder that Bobby was frantic and In despair? The fact that he couldnt under- stand where that smoke was coming from or how it could possibly be down there underground didn't make it any easier for Bobby. He didnt know that it was those hunters who were mak- ing that smoke and driving it down along that passage. but it was. They were trying to smoke Bobby out. They hoped that the smoke would become | 80 bad that Bobby would be unsable to breathe and so would come out for fresh air, when, of course. they would kill him.

The unusual shell pictured here was | once the home of a large, aggressive member of the Buccinidae family. The whelks or trumpet shells are found in the warm seas of both hemispheres. There are about 12 species in this genus. They have pear-shaped shells, | that are quite solid and dark in color. | Sometimes they are banded. The spire is short and set with spines or knobs. The opening is oval, and the | canal short. The lip is smooth. | In Florida and the West Indies you | may even see this moilusk overcome | & fine, husky oyster.

The mollusk and friends, or perhaps they are only neighbors, may be seen gath- ered in a circle about an oyster that has “seen them first” and closed its mighty gates. The waiting circle may have dined well, and can, without any inconvenience, wait out the oyster. It is one of the strangest things to see the weary oyster open its shell the fraction of an inch. Whether it is trying to see if the coast is clear, or to take a long breath, or even yawn, we would like to know. That bit of curiosity on its part is usually fatal. The waiting group acts in unison.
