The Journal of Captain William Pote, JR. During His Captivity in the French and Indian War from May, 1745, to August, 1747 (1895)

In this sequel to Corman the Carp, Corman and Crawmommy come across the largest crayfish that either have ever seen. Upon introducing themselves, they soon discover that this stranger is not a crayfish but a lobster and hails from the ocean. Crawmommy, much to Corman’s chagrin, is smitten by this lobster that very quickly convinces her to return with him to his saltwater paradise over a thousand miles away. When Corman protests and tries to talk sense into her, he is chided and bullied by the pair of crustaceans. They sneak off from him. This leaves Corman frantic and desperate. He cannot have another female disappear from him and he is determined to find her even though he does not know where the ocean is and how he will possibly ever get there.
