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. No Cat*.
