“Presently the jowsters began to bawl out questions to the men who were gathered rather sullenly on deck.”

“The jowsters come down with their carts on to the beach, and hawk them about round the neighborhood—I've seen them twelve a penny; while in the curing-houses they're bulking them and pressing them as if for dear life, to send away to Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples.”
