tidbits more pleasing to the human pal- 
ate than sweet, tender, juicy scallops, 
but, while eating these, fresh from the 
water and hot from the pan, it seemed 
quite impossible to recall a single one of 
them to mind. 
At times oysters or clams would be 
roasted on the beach, and, eaten with 
bread and plenty of butter, they were an 
epicurean delight; the gathering of a 
sufficient quantity was an easy task, like- 
wise the dry hard wood needed for the 
fire had but to be collected and broken 
into pieces of proper length. 
AS the party passed through a region 
‘ r * where gray squirrels, rabbits, wild 
ducks, shore birds, raccoons, opossums 
and quail were numerous it was quite 
natural that a game pie should be cooked 
occasionally; these pies were made with 
whatever game might be at hand, and, 
as the preparation was practically always 
the same, the description of a quail pie 
will apply to one made with squirrels, 
rabbits, or shore birds. 
Into a large earthenware baking dish 
was placed a cup of minced onions, a cup 
of diced salt pork, a cup of diced car- 
rots, a cup of tender little green peas, a 
cup in all of celery, parsley and green 
peppers chopped together, six white po- 
tatoes cut in quarters and then a dozen 
quail, nicely trussed, each one with a 
couple of fat, succulent oysters tucked 
snugly into the cavity wherein had re- 
cently been housed the internal works of 
the bird; the dish would be filled with 
water sufficient to cover the quail and 
then put into a moderately hot oven; 
while the pie was simmering in the oven 
the small gizards, the little livers and the 
tiny hearts of the birds would be boiled, 
chopped fine and stirred into a bowlful 
of thickening, seasoned with a table- 
spoonfull of Lee & Perrins sauce and a 
dash of paprika; when the contents of 
the earthenware dish had cooked for an 
hour the thickening would be stirred in, 
a rich biscuit dough, made short with a 
tablespoonful of butter or of chicken fat, 
would be rolled out quickly, slipped over 
the top of the dish, half a dozen open- 
ings cut deftly in it to allow steam to 
escape and the dish placed quickly back 
into the oven. 
In about twenty minutes that crust 
would be baked a crisp, flaky brown and 
the pie, with tiny spirals of most savory 
steam from the punctures in the crust 
heralding the goodness that reposed 
therein, would be brought to the table in 
order that the diners might first feast 
their eyes before satisfying their hunger. 
Believe it or not, but when four hungry 
men ceased to eat of that pie it was be- 
cause nothing remained save an empty 
earthenware baking dish and four small 
heaps of little bones. Each diner would 
see, reflected from the faces of his fel- 
lows, the expression borne by his own; 
an expression like unto that seen on the 
face of the cat that has just eaten the 
canary; an expression of innocent be- 
atific contenment; guiltless of wrong; 
incapable of strenuous effort; at peace 
with the world ; satisfied to remain quiet 
and purr softly : the cook claimed that 
this silence and aversion to physical ef-
