| Summary: | dory "If one o' they cutters comes onto we, we heaves bags [of salt] and boxes [of illicit booze] over the side. The salt, being heavy, takes the boxes straight down below, and there they stays 'till the salt melts into the water. How long that'll take depends on how much salt you uses and what kind o' bag. A brin bag'll soak out fifty pounds 'o salt in fifteen hours; but fifty pounds in a flour sack'll take nigh into twenty-four hours. You can time it pretty close, you know. And when 'tis time for the crates to come afloat why there'll be a couple o' dories nearby, jiggin for cod as innocent as you please. The dorymen puts the cases into their holds, covers 'em up with cod, and that's an end of it. PRINTED ITEM G. M.
