Photographed bobbing about off the island by our observant Shipping Reporter was the strange object below. It seemed a long way out to be part of the shark net.

It could be an underwaterboten which brought the German girls to the island and then left them to find their own way thereafter , so that the submarine could speed back to the home port to catch resumption of World Cup matches .
