Four borough men. desirous of secur- | ing a supply of clans, conceived the i idea of making trip to Apponaug. 1 Maritime tide notes were studied the | time was carefully calculated, with the l result that favorable low tide would be l at Apponaug at 5.37 a. m, East Green 1 wich time. All four of the clammers own automobiles. It was finally decided that certain one of the prospective shellfish filters, he possessing a machine of exceptionally high speed and power, should take the party over to Apponaug. In the dark, still, small hours of the early morning the start was made, so as to be on the Apponaug clam flats at mean low tide. The roar of a big Han ley-Page 250 h. p. bombing bi-plane had nothing on the rattling exhaust from the clamming machine when it sailed up through the quiet streets of the sleep Ing borough Night-capped heads were thrust from windows, while the village dogs howled in alarm. There was no stop. A4ponaag was sighted at S.S0. seven minutes ahead of the game. But, l hold What is this?' said one.
 The water was splashing aboard the top plankings of the docks. Anchored boats rode well up in the fringe of shore 1 weeds. The tide was high plumb full, and running over. Good salt water was i 12 feet deep on the clam flats. There
 is an established law that the tide | ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four 1 hours The men eamped out and wait ed some of the time being spent in call 1 ing down vehement imprecatIons on the 1 tide records published by unreliable newspapers. Arriving home, the story 1 got out. And it was left to a seafaring man from Palmer street to discover that i the paper from which the tide calcula- 1 aons had been calculated was two
 weeks old.
