When Queeg re-enacts ladling the strawberries from the bucket, he uses sand instead. Each scoop evenly fills the ladle to the top--i.e. there's no mounding. Strawberries wouldn't settle like sand, so a serving would have taken much more volume from the can; 24 servings took three quarts. If even a little bit had mounded up on each serving, the can would have been empty. Since no one, to this point, ever actually confirmed there were any strawberries left, it's strange that no one provided Queeg with such a reasonable explanation as to where the strawberries went.However, they are specifically mentioned as frozen strawberries, which would be cut and juice and/or syrup included, which would indeed settle exactly as described. Hardly any "mounding" would occur, certainly not enough to wildly deviate the results. (If 24 servings = 3 quarts, then 8 servings are missing from the gallon tub, which would require an additional 1/3 serving per ladle for EVERY ladling. Even "a little bit" of mounding of syrupy thawed frozen strawberries could not account for 8 additional servings being gone.)
