[[left margin]] Z  Z [[/left margin]] At the beach many of the soldiers went in bathing. Several of them came back to camp with some tiny black things like slivers in their feet. They called them "sea-eggs" and are supposed to be the spines of what is described as a flat sea urchin or sand dollar, with short barbed spines. I wasn't able to see one but I have seen dead urchins of small size.
