What say you Guinea? will you ship? or shall we land you at once, on yonder bit of a low point, and leave you to scrape acquaintance with the clams?" "'Em berry well off, here," muttered the perfectly contented negro.
Ben had proposed to divide the crabs; but Mr. Odell reckoned, "He'd go crabbing the first leisure day," and was satisfied with part of the clams. And then, unexpected delight, Stephen and Dolly and the two babies came up to dinner. Little Stevie captured everybody, he was so merry and cunning; and Polly wished they could keep him.
Take one quart of shelled sand clams, two large potatoes, two large onions, one clove of garlic, one sweet pepper, one thick slice of salt pork, one-half pound small oyster crackers, one-half glass sherry, one tablespoonful Worcestershire sauce, one tomato, salt, and pepper.
But, speaking of clams, which would you sooner do or go a-fishing?" "Go a-fishing!" cried Donald and Pepper, starting off on a run down the hill to the boat-house.
The clams are good bait, and we can try some of your tackle." Ford's face brightened a good deal at that suggestion, for he had more than once cast a crest fallen look at his pretentious box. But he replied, "A mess! How many crabs can one man eat?" "I don't know," said Dab. "It depends a good deal on who he is. Then, if he eats the shells, he can't take in so many." "Eat de shells?

His evening repast was now a decided improvement on that of the preceding day. First of all, he spread some clams in the hot ashes to roast; and then, taking the dipper which had been used for baling, he filled it with water, and placing this on the fire, it soon began to boil.
He wore a slicker on wet days, and the rain dripped from his rubber hat. He sat knee to knee with certain cronies around the town pump. He made chowder after a famous recipe, and dug clams when the spirit moved him.
An' there the two fellers be, a sailin' up an' down the S'n. Lor'nce, as happy as two clams in high water, workin' up corners in their wages, an' playin' into one another's hands like a pair of pickpockets; and what do ye think old Belcher said about Phipps?" "What did he say?" comes from every side. "Well, I can't tell percisely," responds Jim.
"I feel as though my tongue were swelling fast," he admitted. They dug the tiny clams from the shells, and ate for a few minutes in silence, then she said: "I can't go any more of them." He wondered if she were not hungry, but said nothing. After eating a few more, he understood. Then he, too, stopped. "I've got to find water," he said. He waited for her to speak.
Who ever dreamed, till one of our sleepless neighbors told us of it, of that Walpurgis gathering of birds and beasts of prey, foxes, and owls, and crows, and eagles, that come from all the country round on moonshiny nights to crunch the clams and muscles, and pick out the eyes of dead fishes that the storm has thrown on Chelsea Beach?
