Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London


We held a long council of war, and mapped out the following line of
action. Our faces were unfamiliar on the Lower Bay, but as the
Reindeer was well known as a fish-patrol sloop, the Greek boy,
whose name was Nicholas, and I were to sail some innocent-looking
craft down to Asparagus Island and join the oyster pirates' fleet.
Here, according to Nicholas's description of the beds and the
manner of raiding, it was possible for us to catch the pirates in
the act of stealing oysters, and at the same time to get them in
our power. Charley was to be on the shore, with Mr. Taft's
watchmen and a posse of constables, to help us at the right time.
