THE SAILOR CRAB.
Makes Long Voyage* at Sts o » the
Buck* of Turtles.
Among the many curious crabs j
there is perhaps none more inter
esting than the sailor crab, a name
applied to it because it go*** to sea j
on long vovages, which it makes on ;
the hacks of big green turtles and j
giant loggerheads.
The sailor crab is a little fellow j
•with a body three-quarters of an j
inch or an inch in length. With it .
claws extended it might measure an |
inch and a half. It is a very pretty i
crab indeed, with color markings j
that are various. It may he found |
with a shell all yellow or with a j
shell of dark colors with lighter j
shadings like those of finished tor
toise shell, or it may have a mot
tied shell or a shell w hose coloring |
resemble* that, of veined marble;.
It seem* all the prettier seen amid
its rough surroundings on the big
loggerhead’s dingy brown shell.
'l'he hi" loggerhead, with a top
shell six «>r seven feet ir length,
iji.-iv afford » flouting home for va
rious other living things. Harnu
< !e- attach to it and there live their
lives, traveling with it wherever it
goes, n- do barnacles that attueli to
yi.4s(.]<i. Marine vegetation that
lod.'e- on its hack may there stick
and thrive just as it would attached
to rocks, gathering in clumps or
streaming hack from it when the
big turtle is in motion just as it 1
might from roek* washed by n flow
ing tide, and in this vegetation
mav he found various minute forms
of animal life. Some duv when the
big turtle, with all this life on its
hack, swims into shallower waters |
to feed or works it« wav through
some floating mass of seaweed one
or two sailor crabs may come j
aboard, shipping thus for a long
v o v age.
To the sailor crab thus embarked
the big turtle may not seem like aj
sea washed moving continent, but it
might easily seem like a sizable is
land with many places to roam.
(When the turtle is asleep, lying
still upon the waters, the little
sailor crab may wander out to the
end of one of its long extended
flippers as it might to the end of
some peninsula, and then it may
come back to find its way among
the meadows or the forests of veg
etation ou the turtle’s back, and if
it is liungrv, why, while the barna
cles in their fixed places are reach
ing out with their delicate lingers
and sweeping the adjacent waters
as with a net to draw in their sus
tenance the sailor crab can move
about in the vegetation and find
food.
Or the sailor crab may find food
in the sernfw that come to it from !
the turtle’s table. The loggerhead j
is both a vegetable and a flesh feed j
er. It will eat sea grass or what- I
ever crustaceans it can catch or
fish.
It might seem that the big log
gerhead couldn’t catch lish. But it
is a great swimmer, and it will
smash into a school of fish and snap
up what it wants, and scraps from
this float buck to the lodge on the
turtle’s back and there furnish food
for the sailor. So the sailor crab
at sou on the turtle’s back is likely
to get enough to eat, but it has to
be always on the lookout not to he
swept off the ship’s deck to be lost
in the ocean or there devoured by j
some bigger creature.
When the turtle is under way or
there is a heavy sea running it must
hold on tight with its sharp claws, j
and it may find a refuge somewhere
in the vegetation, but it is more
likelv to go elenn aft and creep
over the edge of the shell at the
lmse of the turtle’s back to where
it can find a shelter and a lee. It
is there the sailor crabs have often-j
cst lw*en found on loggerheads
which have come from the tropic
in summer and been taken in local
waters - New York Sun.
