This recipe was extracted from The household cook book (1902) by Smiley, James B[ethuel],, page 61. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

KROMESKIES OF CRABS — Boil for 40 minutes, 1 or more crabs; when cool, pick them out in as large pieces as possible. Mash fine the hard-boiled yolks of 4 eggs, add them to the crabs, with 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, 1 whole egg well beaten, and a palatable seasoning of salt and cayenne. Mix carefully, and form into tiny rolls; wrap each in a very thin slice of bacon, dip it in fritter batter, and fry in smoking hot fat
