     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.

     我的希望没有落空。我从未见过比近岸浅滩上更密集的蛤蜊。我很快就装满了我的捕捞船，然后我突然想到，再多捕捞一些，把它们带到韦尔茅斯，然后把它们卖出去，这不失为一个好主意。海湾那边的蛤蜊相当稀少，应该能卖个好价钱。
