...laboratory Shettles spread sperm cells thinly on a glass slide, allowed them to dry, and examined them with a phase-contrast microscope-a type that makes tiny objects look like bright halos of light against a dark background, showing up details that ordinary microscopes miss. As the sperm dried, Shettles found that the heads of some looked round like doughnuts ; others appeared long and boat shaped. There were no intermediate types, although the size of the sperm varied a good deal from sample to sample. Shettles speculates that the roundheads carry the male-producing Y chromosome, while the longheads carry...

Ellida sports it for a time with the sailor, but at play's end she chooses a terrestrial admirer. The point seems to be that both sea and sailor represent Ellida...
