CRAB SHELL CAVE (aa -)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

One or the other of two communicating cave entrances without identified shapes and orientation was not only larger than a drunkard's attention span as it was partly understood to be in one way or the other 1.3 m high 1.5 m (sic!) but also gives access to a tunnel cave and seasonal stream cave which goes west for [an estimated walking distance of about] 30 m on similar dimentions (sic! qua: dementias?) and brightens the jolly onlooker's day with cutting through 30 m section of karst for the sole reason of forcing a self centered cave visitor to have the impression of encountering an exit into rift (Galloway 2010.02.14 Mss) which, of course, is the second cave entrance. ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous, indigenous or locally known cave name has been identified for what Galloway (2010.02.14 Mss) christened Crab [deleted: Claw] Shell Cave along with Team Name to commemorate not the claw but the shell of either a kind of ten-footed crustacean, or a zodiacal constellation (cancer), a machinefor hoisting heavy weights, a wild apple (fruit and tree) or a sour person. SITUATION: Unknown (note 1). According to Galloway (2010.02.14 Mss), one or the other of the two known cave entrances to the Crab Shell Cave lies at an unspecified location and at a spot without identified spatial relation to any of all the other cave entrances in the close vicinity. APPROACH: As a veteran member of the -Caving in the Abode of the Clouds Project-, Galloway (2010.02.14 Mss) mastered the consumption of stupefying fluids and, having attained an advanced stage of derangement, commanded to follow the karst downstream of the Kopili river 200 m from Umkyrpong to Assam boat crossing cave is at he bottem [sic! qua: one more bottle? at then end] of a dry valley. CAVE DESCRIPTION: Seasonal stream cave cutting through a 30 m section of Karst (ARBENZ, T 2012: 236).for hoisting heavy weights, a wild apple (fruit and tree) or a sour person.
