Joseph ESQUEMELING, himself
buccaneer, has described the con-
duct and exploits of his companions in
plain prose, warning eager youths that
"pieceS of eight do not grow on trees"
Esquemeling's work, originally written In
Dutch Q645-170D, was published in Am
sterdam in 1878 under the title, DE
AmericaniSche ZeerOverS." He gives
fairly good picture of street scenes" IN
Port Royal, when he describes the in
dulgences of his fellow pirates ashore:
Their gains they spend with great lib
erality," he wrote, giving themselves
freely to all manner of vices and de-
bauchery, among which the first is that
of drunkenness, which they exercise for
the most part with brandy; this they
drink as literally as the SpaniardS do
clear fountain water. Sometimes they
buy together pipe of wine (an old meas
use of ITO gallonS). This they stave at the
one end, and never cease drinking till
they have made an end of it. Thus they
celebrate the festivals of Bacchus so long
as they have any money left. Neither do
they forget at the same time the goddess
Venus. For all the tavern keepers and
strumpets wait for the coming of these
lewd buccaneers, even after the same
manner that they do at Amsterdam for
the arrival Of the East India fleet at the
Texel."
Again, in writing Of the pirates con-
duct ashore, Esquemeling says:
"An these prizes they carried into ia
rooico uhera thew safely arrived and
according to their custom. wasted in .

Grab Meat Industry

1.-THE crab meat industry in Mary
land is an important one. Nearly 10
concerns are engaged in the business
OF packing crab meat, principally dur
ing the Summer months. The value Of
the output is we'll over 100000 an
nually. The meat is graded as follows
Back Fin Lump; Lump; white and
Claw, The prices vary from SOC to 6Oc
per pound for fancy lump, down to l8c
to Csc for the claw. The meat is pack
ed by relatively small concerns located
at different points on the Chesapeake
Bay.
"crabs are cooked by steam under
pressure, cooled and then delivered to
the picking tables, After the crabs
are cooled, the meat ispicked out from
the whole crab. In the process Of pick
ing meat, it is practically impossible
TO avoid contact with hands After
the meat is picked either into small
cans or into large containers, 1t is de
livered to the packing room where it is
graded and packed in ice. Because OF
the demand for the fresh product, cans
Of crab meat are not sterilized or her;
metically sealed like canned foods.
Therefore, the meat must be very care
fully handled at all stages to safeguard
il against spolage and contamination
before or alter packing. 1t is equally
important that tho cook or housewife
protect this food from spoilage and
contamination.
Packers have improved their build
ings and equipment during the last two
years. Considering the time that has
been required to improve the quality
Of milk as judged by bacterial stand
ards it is felt that gratifying progress
has been made in improving the cor
ditions under which crab meat is pre-
pared for the market"
