Yes! Chapter 13! It came along just in time to rescue Richard! Which is a good job really because he probably wouldn't have survived till Chapter 14.
Clamp the hermit crab, who had been charging for a few minutes now and was wondering just how long it would be before he hit something, hit something. It was the great seething mass of prawns surrounding Richard. And Clamp hit them like a bowling ball smashing into pins, like an out of control truck crashing into stuff it should know better than to crash into, such as bottles of shampoo, or maybe even penguins. Prawns went everywhere. They went up, they went down. They went round and round. They bounced and jostled and bumped and tumbled. It was messy. It was noisy. It was messy and noisy. A big noisy mess.
"Richard!" called Clamp, as around him prawns rained down from above with squeals of "I can fly! Oh, I can't..." and, "I blame the non-existent sea cucumbers!"
Richard, heard his friend. Even through all that icky seaweed.
"Here, my faithful friend!" he replied, and pushed a claw through the green mush and waved it high.

Clamp saw it and rushed over, ducking falling prawns, ignoring the King Prawn's insults, and finally cutting through all the terrible seaweed.
"What happened?" Clamp asked.
"Do you trust me?" Richard asked.
"You can't answer a question with a question," Clamp replied. "But the answer is yes, of course I do."
"Well hurrah and huzzah!" Richard cheered. "Then come! Follow me! For we have a world to save!"
"Will there be food?" Clamp asked.
"There will be honour and glory, my friend!" Richard replied. "Honour and glory!"
"Does that come with chips or rice?"
Richard ignored Clamp's question, jumped up onto his shell, and yelled, "To my spaceship!"
"You have a spaceship?" Clamp asked.
"Of course I havea spaceship!" Richard replied. "It has wings and an engine and a little cabin to sleep in, and a galley, because that's what ships have I think, and a warning light that flashes on and off if something goes wrong! It's brilliant!"
"Where is it?" Clamp asked.
"Behind my garden shed!" Richard replied. "Between the compost heap and the lawn mower! Where else? Let's GO!"
