Holding his breath, he deliberately lowered himself until the stream rose to his mandibles. With his spicules sub-merged, only his head remained above water. He could still see with his eyes, hear with his ears, taste with his antennae, but he could not breathe.

They tried to cling to his digits but were un-able to secure a grip on the hard, smooth surface.
