The Peril of The Seas — Coming to a Coast near You..
I am working on a story which recalls a Sherlock Holmes adventure The Adventure of The Lion’s Mane. The detective is his own chronicler in this one because trusty old Watson has become a family man. This story introduced me to the idea that a jellyfish can be a killer.
“Cyanea!” I cried. “Cyanea! Behold the Lion’s Mane!”
The strange object at which I pointed did indeed look like a tangled mass torn from the mane
of a lion. It lay upon a rocky shelf some three feet under the water, a curious waving, vibrating, hairy
creature with streaks of silver among its yellow tresses. It pulsated with a slow, heavy dilation and contraction.
