Mr. McGee of the West Newton wholesale abalone exchange was a man under extreme pressure. He had the United Nations and the Canadian Parliament breathing down his neck for receiving, via their vast sales network, shipments amounting to over fifty tons of Canadian abalone that had been illicitly harvested by renegade Maine Lobsterman one spring when they found themselves in Canadian waters and figured a few tons of abalone wouldn't be missed. In fact, the first couple of trips they made hardly made a blip in the bustling wholesale abalone market of that region.
After about seven more trips though, not only did their record catches (in waters previously protected for upwards of one hundred years) make a blip on the local wholesale abalone market, but certain coastguard reports of wayward lobster boats spotted passing by the northern-most tip of the coast of Maine began to correlate. Every time they would radio out to the vessels, however, the boat's captain would respond that he had merely gotten blown off course or had engine trouble or some such thing, and thanks for the help, but we're all right now. Mr. McGee got the call one morning from an indignant Canadian official, who sat fuming in his office reviewing surveillance photos of the lobstermen hauling up elephant-sized nets full of abalone and flipping the bird towards the Canadian coastline as they made their way south once more.
