Our dragnet was filled with Midas abalone, harp shells, obelisk snails, and especially the finest hammer shells I had seen to that day. We also gathered in a few sea cucumbers, some pearl oysters, and a dozen small turtles that we saved for the ship's pantry.
A gyalom hárfacsigákkal, főként pedig oly gyönyörű tengeri kalapácsokkal, amilyeneket még sosem láttam, továbbá gyöngykagylókkal s egy tucat kis teknőccel telt meg. A teknőcöket félretettük a hajókonyha számára.
