Without any written records of their faith, which were presumably lost in the shipwreck, Saturday's Oilmen handed down what they could remember of their rituals and practices from generation to generation, losing more and more as the centuries rolled on.

Birdseye persisted until he found out why: quick freezing prevents formation of large cell-destroying ice crystals. He went back home to Gloucester, worked out a commercial quick-freeze process, set up the business that became the foundation of the frozen-foods industry...
