"Several of the men lately have taken to catching crabs sometimes during work-hours." "The men tie a rope to a big twine net, and bait it, and let it out into the bay.

In a little while they haul it in again, and there are maybe half a dozen big crabs in the net.

The men have made a sort of boiler out of an empty kerosene can with one end cut off.

They attach a hose to the boiler of the engine and fill that can with hot water.

The crabs cook in a short time and those men stop work to eat.
