No more waves are breaking over the rim near our house, but daylight discloses waves still breaking over the north rim. This continued for the rest of this day. Reef and beach area are a surging, swirling, seething mass of white foaming water. Large pieces of the reef and of cemented coral limestone are being carried over the reef and deposited on the beach. The contour of Jarvis is somewhat changed on the southern side of the southwest point. A peninsula of sand has built up 8 to 10 feet above the ocean level. It is over 200 yards wide (east to west) and extends south over 100 yards". A few days later when the sea had become calm again, I could stand at the end of this sandy peninsula and look down to deeper water off the reef slope. The upper portion of this sand bar was the most productive beach-collecting area on the island in the months to come.

Found at all depths of the ocean, the Starfish or Sea Star is the common name for five orders and about 1500 species of the class Asteroidea of the phylum Echinodermata. Adult Starfish range in size from 1cm to 65cm. Other classes of echinoderms include the sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers, sea lilies, and brittle stars. Starfish live on ocean bottoms at both deep and shallow depths. Underneath each arm are hundreds of tiny suction cup feet that the starfish uses to propel itself. At the end of each arm is an orange eyespot. The starfish can’t see, but uses its eyespot to sense light and dark. The starfish eats in a rather unusual way. To eat its favorite food, usually a mussel or clam, the starfish wraps its arms around the shell and then pushes its stomach out of its body through its mouth and into the open shell. Once it digests the shell creature, it slides its stomach out of the empty shell and back inside its own body. Interesting Facts: A starfish is not actually a fish. It has no gills or fins. It also has no skeleton. Starfish characteristically have five or more arms which are used for movement and to capture it's prey. Should the Starfish lose one or more of its arms, it is capable of regenerating new ones.
