On several occasions, when the "Beagle" has been within the mouth of the Plata, the rigging has been coated with the web of the Gossamer Spider.
Until they became accustomed or resigned to the Altrurian diet, they were allowed to catch shell-fish and the crabs that swarmed along the sand and cook them, but on condition that they built their fires on the beach, and cooked only during an offshore wind, so that the fumes of the roasting should not offend the villagers.
