Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London


It was an uneventful though laughable run from Tiburon to Asparagus
Island, where we arrived in the afternoon of the following day.
The oyster pirates, a fleet of a dozen sloops, were lying at anchor
on what was known as the "Deserted Beds." The Coal Tar Maggie came
sloshing into their midst with a light breeze astern, and they
crowded on deck to see us. Nicholas and I had caught the spirit of
the crazy craft, and we handled her in most lubberly fashion.
