Puzzle 217 


During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a Morse code contest took place.

The contest consisted of a Morse code transmission where the spaces between the letters and words were missing.

Can you find the ten girl's names?

....---.--.-.....- .---.-.-.....-...-. .---.........-.-..- ..-....--...--....-.... .....--.-..-.... --..-.-.......-...-... .---..-.-.....- --..-..--.-.. .--.--...-...- ------...-.-..-
Luckily, BrainBashers has provided you with a list of the Morse code characters:
