     My hopes wa'n't disappointed. I never saw clams thicker than they was along them inshore flats. I filled my dreener in no time, and then it come to me that 'twouldn't be a bad idee to get a lot more, take 'em with me to Wellmouth, and peddle 'em out. Clams was fairly scarce over that side of the bay and ought to fetch a fair price.

     我的希望沒有落空。我從未見過比近岸淺灘上更密集的蛤蜊。我很快就裝滿了我的捕撈船，然後我突然想到，再多捕撈一些，把它們帶到韋爾茅斯，然後把它們賣出去，這不失為一個好主意。海灣那邊的蛤蜊相當稀少，應該能賣個好價錢。
