Unfortunately I couldn't fish up this wonderful specimen, and surely no other Mediterranean zoophytes would have been offered to my gaze, if, on the evening of the 16th, the Nautilus hadn't slowed down in an odd fashion. This was the situation.
Desgraciadamente, no pude pescar esa admirable muestra, y ningún otro zoóflto mediterráneo se habría presentado ante mis ojos de no haber disminuido singularmente su velocidad el Nautilus en la tarde del 16, y en las circunstancias que describo seguidamente.
