Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London


When the flotilla had been landed, Nicholas and I and a watchman
rowed out in one of the Whitehalls, with Charley in the stern-
sheets. Two other Whitehalls followed us, and as the moon now
shone brightly, we easily made out the oyster pirates on their
lonely shoal. As we drew closer, they fired a rattling volley from
their revolvers, and we promptly retreated beyond range.


"Lot of time," Charley said. "The flood is setting in fast, and by
the time it's up to their necks there won't be any fight left in
them."
