"And sometimes two big crabs will fight so hard that one pulls a claw off the other. You have caught a fine, big one, Laddie." "A dandy," agreed Laddie. "And I've got one, too!" cried Vi. "Oh, he's pulling like anything!" She really had a crab on her line. Cousin Tom netted it for her, and it turned out to be larger than Laddie's. "I think the crab fishing will be good to-day," said Daddy Bunker.
Quite time enough to inquire into the matter after the villain is comfortably sewed up in a hammock with a thirty-pound shot at his heels, and sent to the bottom of the sea for the sharks and crabs to devour. Suspicion is nine points of the law in these regions, Captain Montague, and we never allow the tenth point to interfere with the course of justice one way or another.
He had been eating steadily and had finished the two crabs. I had not eaten more than three or four mouthfuls of game pie. I felt I might accept his offer. "If you've any experience of courts martial," I said, "I haven't and if you really don't mind trotting off " "Not a bit," said Bland. "In fact a court martial would be rather a scoop for me. I'm sure the public would want to know how it's run."
A funny-looking crab was sticking his head out from each of these shells. "These are the hermit crabs," said one of the mermaids. "They steal these shells and live in them so no enemies can attack them." "Don't they get lonesome?" asked Trot. "Perhaps so, my dear. But they do not seem to mind being lonesome.

In considering this interpretation, the question could not but arise why such an arrangement for the diminution of friction should be necessary in these particular Crabs and between these two feet, leaving out of consideration the fact that the remarkable brushes of hair, which on the other hand must increase friction, also remain unexplained.
As Cousin Tom rowed along, he told the six little Bunkers that the crabs swam up the inlet from the sea to get things to eat, and also for the mother crab to lay eggs, so little crabs would hatch out. "And when the big crabs swim up, which they do whenever the tide runs into the inlet, twice a day," said Cousin Tom, "we go out and catch them.
Anyhow that was the way she spent it. She got back to Marazion at ten o'clock and went to her room at the little café. Looking from its window, she saw the three on the shore by the moonlit sea. Kay was standing on the paved causeway, and Barry and Gerda, some way off, were wading among the rocks, bending over the pools, as if they were looking for crabs. Nan went to bed.
Don't bother with it. You know how we made out with the pink crabs." "Yes," put in Julia. "Let's change our color scheme. Here's a lovely amethyst shell."
