Hoo
,
who
was
apparently
of
the
same
age
as
Edwin
,
grinned
.
“
All
you
want
,
Granser
.
I
got
four
.
”
I
got
four
.
"
The
old
man
’
s
palsied
eagerness
was
pitiful
.
Sitting
down
in
the
sand
as
quickly
as
his
stiff
limbs
would
let
him
,
he
poked
a
large
rock
-
mussel
from
out
of
the
coals
.
The
heat
had
forced
its
shells
apart
,
and
the
meat
,
salmon
-
colored
,
was
thoroughly
cooked
.
Between
thumb
and
forefinger
,
in
trembling
haste
,
he
caught
the
morsel
and
carried
it
to
his
mouth
.
But
it
was
too
hot
,
and
the
next
moment
was
violently
ejected
.
The
old
man
spluttered
with
the
pain
,
and
tears
ran
out
of
his
eyes
and
down
his
cheeks
.
The
boys
were
true
savages
,
possessing
only
the
cruel
humor
of
the
savage
.
To
them
the
incident
was
excruciatingly
funny
,
and
they
burst
into
loud
laughter
.
Hoo
-
Hoo
danced
up
and
down
,
while
Edwin
rolled
gleefully
on
the
ground
.
The
boy
with
the
goats
came
running
to
join
in
the
fun
.
“
Set
’
em
to
cool
,
Edwin
,
set
’
em
to
cool
,
”
the
old
man
besought
,
in
the
midst
of
his
grief
,
making
no
attempt
to
wipe
away
the
tears
that
still
flowed
from
his
eyes
.
“
And
cool
a
crab
,
Edwin
,
too
.
You
know
your
grandsire
likes
crabs
.

You

"
From
the
coals
arose
a
great
sizzling
,
which
proceeded
from
the
many
mussels
bursting
open
their
shells
and
exuding
their
moisture
.
They
were
large
shellfish
,
running
from
three
to
six
inches
in
length
.
The
boys
raked
them
out
with
sticks
and
placed
them
on
a
large
piece
of
driftwood
to
cool
.
“
When
I
was
a
boy
,
we
did
not
laugh
at
our
elders
;
we
respected
them
.
”
The
boys
took
no
notice
,
and
Granser
continued
to
babble
an
incoherent
flow
of
complaint
and
censure
.
But
this
time
he
was
more
careful
,
and
did
not
burn
his
mouth
.
All
began
to
eat
,
using
nothing
but
their
hands
and
making
loud
mouth
-
noises
and
lip
-
smackings
.
The
third
boy
,
who
was
called
Hare
-
Lip
,
slyly
deposited
a
pinch
of
sand
on
a
mussel
the
ancient
was
carrying
to
his
mouth
;
and
when
the
grit
of
it
bit
into
the
old
fellow
’
s
mucous
membrane
and
gums
,
the
laughter
was
again
uproarious
.
He
was
unaware
that
a
joke
had
been
played
on
him
,
and
spluttered
and
spat
until
Edwin
,
relenting
,
gave
him
a
gourd
of
fresh
water
with
which
to
wash
out
his
mouth
.
“
Where
’
s
them
crabs
,
Hoo
-
Hoo
?
”
Edwin
demanded
.
“
Granser
’
s
set
upon
having
a
snack
.
”
