off the Spanish Main; the whole forming a kind of 'false bottom' to the ocean beneath which there lay all the depth of clear still water which was heavier than molten gold. The facts are; first that waterbeing all but incompressibleis hardly any heavierand just as liquidat the greatest depththan at the surface; and that therefore animals can move as freely in it in deep as in shallow water; and nextthat as the fluids inside the body of a sea animal must be at the same pressure as that of the water outside itthe two pressures must balance each other; and the bodyinstead of being crushed inmay be unconscious that it is living under a weight of two or three miles of water. But so it is; as we gather our curiosities at low-tide markor haul the dredge a mile or two out at seawe may allow our fancy to range freely out to the westwardand down over the subaqueous cliffs of the hundred-fathom linewhich mark the old shore of the British Isles or rather of a time when Britain and Ireland were part of the continent through water a mileand twoand three miles deepinto total darkness Glaucus/or The Wonders of the Shore 38 and icy colda ugg outlet clearanceyilai: ugg boots clearance 201005112111462831aja |
