It was obvious'y a young sea 1 that. had. become stranded and efforts were immediately made to return it to the tide. In spite of its vigorous objections to being levered along the youngster was gradually brought to the waters edge where it helped itself without further delay and was soon flipping its way through the breakers towards the open sea.
