She told Miss Sullivan to keep it in water through  near the well. But, next morning the creature had disappeared. It had perhaps returned to the sea. Helen felt very disappointed at the disappearance of the horseshoe crab. Little by little she came to realize that it was not kind nor wise to force the crab to live out of its natural environment. She felt happy guessing perhaps it had returned to the sea.
