| Summary: | conch n "Well, I went down t' Jimmie Lot's stage, where the bait-skiff horn was kept, and fetched it back. 'Twas a conch shell, with a hole in it: so that if a man knowed how t'use lips an' lungs on it he could blow a blast that would wake the harbour. In the caplin season, when they uses them little fish for bait, the folk take turns at mannin' the skiff. 'Tis the bait-skiff conch that calls un t' put out; an' 'tis the bait-skiff conch that warms the harbour that the skiff is back with the bait." PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G. M.
