PAGE 78 (Single panel page)
Single panel: A view from the deck showing the Creature, still stuck in the net, being lifted above the midsection of the ship by the ship’s crane. The Creature is in position to be lowered into the large tank in the middle of the ship. Around the deck, there are crewmen gesturing, presumably helping the crane operator lower the Creature into the tank.
