They had not been in the rvater long before tiiey pei'ceived two l i gi rts bcbbi ng about on i he w ayes j ust ac r oss t he teeth of thc reef. " Let us go and l ool i " sai d one to the oth er , "t o see rvhat,thosc tq' o l i ghi s may be" " A nd so, slinging thei r stri ngs of fi sh & crossthei r shoui ders,they t ook l ong stri cl es i n the di recti or of the breal <er s. As they drew near bo w here the i sl and' s edge clr ops flwaJ/ to thc bottom of the Facific, they saw that i he i i ght-. w ere candl es, and that these cand lesr ver e carrieci in ihe ciaws cf two giant crabs who r'vere supnorti ng the i rrage of the V i rgi n Mary bet ween tl rem. l V hcn the fi shertnen,w ho, as good chr ist ianr , w ere i ncensed,rvoul d have tahen thc i mage o f G od's h{ other f rom them, the crabs reproved them, saving, " Y ou are not cl othed, w herefore, you are no t f it t o recci ve so sai ntl y an i mage.
