Curious and little known facts about

boats, letting them out on shares.
At the cannery the oysters are put
into latticed iron baskets on wheels.
Each loaded car basket passes under
a flooding device by which some mud,
not all, is washed OF by water under
pressure. The car now enters a steam
chamber and the occupants Of the
shells get warmed up enough to make
them little gaspy; this f1xes them
for the shucker.
Two tracks run from end to end Of
a low long building, so dark, except
for short time in the afternoon, that
electric lights are required. These
tracks are covered as closely as pos
possible with cans half cooked oysters
in the shell. On either side stand the
shuckers.

steam encircling hundreds OF faces,
