In a large stewpan place the salt pork cut into small dice, and let this fry slightly over a slow fire until the bottom of the stewpan is well greased. Take this off the fire and put in a layer of potatoes sliced thin, on top of the salt pork, then a layer of onions sliced thin, and a layer of clams. Put on this salt and pepper and sprinkle with a little flour and then a layer of crackers.
The wood-cut does not show the inequality of the two valves, also a very characteristic feature of this group, one valve being flat and fitting closely into the other, which is more spreading and much fuller. These, also, were represented by a great variety of species, and we find them crowded together as closely in the ancient rocks as Oysters or Clams or Mussels on any of our modern shores.
It's like the stories where the man perishes of thirst in the desert right on top of the water hole." "We really and truly are Robinson Crusoe-like," said Gladys, looking out at the flooded fields and deserted road. "Robinson Crusoe had the advantage of us in one thing," said Hinpoha, returning to her main theme. "He had a corn-stalk, and clams, and things."
"But, Dan, Mother said we were to bed them in seaweed!" "I see none here," said Dan, leaning on his shovel and looking about him. "The tide hath swept everything as clean as a floor."

"What's this?" cried Tom, opening a dish "not lobster!" "Lobster!" exclaimed Phil. "So it is." "Why, Solomon, where did you get lobster?" "Is this the season for them?" "Think of the words of the poet, boys," said Bart, warningly, "In the months without the R, Clams and lobsters pison are."
When a boy he had been sometimes accustomed to wander on sand flats near his home, and dig up these clams in sport. Now his boyish experience became useful. Myriads of little holes dotted the sand, which he knew to be the indications of these molluscs, and he at once began to scoop in the sand with his hands.
"'Pinchem Shortface, the millionaire who made a fortune by inventing a way to open clams by steam, has determined that no foreign Count will marry his daughter, Sudsetta. She will inherit about $193,000,000, about $18 of which is loose enough to spend.
