(No. 5.) Sep 8th. Lat 34°26' S. Long 1°12' East. Squid found on board in the morning Sep 13th. Lat 35°22' S. Long 12°58' East. A Marine Animal about 5 inches long by 4 in diameter. Seemed to be a sack with a mouth that could be closed or opened at will. When caught had the mouth open & interior filled with water. Around the mouth were small purple spots. (No. 6) The whole exterior covered with points irregular placed, rising from bases about 20 in bean; and being 10 in long, the most of them bent or broken at the ends. The colour a bluish white, when not emitting light. But where seen in the water or even floating some distance from the vessel on top of the water, shewing a steady bright light. The light was evidently emitted at will; for on being caught and allowed to remain in the net a few minutes it all disappeared, and then shone out again gradually becoming brighter until the whole body glowed with a brilliant white light. On putting them into a bucket of water, the light disappeared again, but by touching any one of the points it became lighter fish and then the light gradually spread until the whole was illuminated as before. A slight agitation of the water also was sufficient also to produce the same effect. St. Helena | | But that Sep 13th. Lat 34°26' S. Long 1°12' East St. Helena
