My adventures on the rock My search for food, and what I found The storm Despite my perilous position, I marvel at the grandeur of the scene The storm subsides My search for clams, and further explorations on the rock The darkest night must come to an end A welcome wetting My only refuge Return of stormy weather Perilous moments I climb the beacon-post.
And their several arrivals and departures, accompanied by their several staffs: the soup as an advance guard of gumbo or clams or both if you chose; then a sheepshead caught off Cobb's Island the day before, just arrived by the day boat, with potatoes that would melt in your mouth in gray jackets these; then soft-shell crabs big, crisp fellows, with fixed bayonets of legs, and orderlies of cucumber the first served on a huge silver platter with the coat-of-arms of the Temples cut in the centre of the rim and the last on an old English cut-glass dish.
He lived near the inlet, and had the kind of boat commonly used in these shallow waters flat-bottomed, broad in the beam, with centre-board and one mast set well forward. He had dug a peck or two of the large round clams, and two or three throws of his cast-net as we came through the creek procured a dozen mullet.
The jolly cuttle-fish stopped playing his drums and guitar, folded his six arms and hid away moping in his hole. His servant the lobster in vain lighted his candle at night, and tried to induce him to come out of his lair. The dolphins and porpoises wept tears, but the clams, oysters and limpets shut up their shells and did not even wiggle.
And Jimmy Skunk, also tired and hungry and angry, started off up the Crooked Little Path to look for some beetles. But Peter Rabbit and Jumper the Hare sat down to enjoy the big head of cabbage, while close beside them sat Jerry Muskrat smacking his lips over his clams, they tasted so good.
He had found all the different articles that he had thought of and his new acquisitions were now lying about him. These were, Clams, Lobsters, Mussels, Shrimps, Dulse. As he murmured to himself the list of things, he smiled triumphantly. But still there was work to be done. Tom intended to keep fashionable hours, and dine late, with only a lunch in the middle of the day.
Pearl buttons are made from the shells of mussels or fresh-water clams. This business, which is now worth $5,000,000, can not last many years unless some means of increasing the supply of mussels can be devised. Now these men, who are always studying new plans, have thought of a wonderful way in which to let the fish help in carrying on this work.
If it were fish fresh, salt, smoked, or otherwise to say nothing of crabs, oysters, clams, and the exclusive and expensive lobster it was Codman, a few doors above Porterfield's, who had them on ice, or in barrels, the varnished claws of the lobsters thrust out like the hands of a drowning man.
We never saw those two dogs again; but the quietness and relief we enjoyed made us decide, like the man who refused his hundred and fifty, that it was cheap at the price. For the first time in months Steve and I laughed and whistled and sang. We were as happy as clams. The dark days were over. The nightmare had been lifted. That Spot was gone.
Place a saucepan over the fire with a good-sized piece of sweet butter and a sliced onion; put into that some sliced tomatoes, then add as many different kinds of fish as you can get oysters, clams, smelts, pawns, crabs, shrimps and all kinds of pan-fish; cook all together until the onions are well browned; then add a bunch of sweet herbs, salt and pepper, and sufficient water to make the required amount of stock.
