Back at the dock, the oyster buyer's truck was waiting.
The oysters were shoveled into a bushel measure and counted into the truck.
We didn't reach the boat's limit of 125 bushels that day; I think we got

expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
