One fishing on the shore of a narrow channel in the 
Bay, He crav/’led rather than walked along the muddy 
shore with neck drawn in, bearing a striking resemblance 
to a huge mud turtle. At frequent intervals ho would 
dart out his bill almost horizontally and nearly every 
thrust seemed to be successful (Marston’s Mills, Mass.).
