Although called tinware, it really was zinc, and was susceptible, through much hard work, of a high polish, but this "polishing tinware" was a fearful curse to the poor prisoner. It consisted of a jug for water and a bowl for washing in and a pint dish for gruel.
He watched a moment: yes; he could see just the faintest tremor of the diaphragm. "Run," he cried, " for God's sake run and bring me a jug of hot water, and two or three basins. There is just a chance yet! If you make haste, we may save her. Bring me a syringe. If you haven't one, run from house to house till you get one. Her life depends on it."
I left a demijohn of common wine there, which I bought for the purpose of making it into antimonial wine. "O! certainly," replied the store-keeper. "Here, Tom!" and he called for his boy.

It seemed as though the ship were beginning to rock. The hammock slowly rose and fell under Gusev, as though it were heaving a sigh, and this was repeated once, twice, three times.... Something crashed on to the floor with a clang: it must have been a jug falling down. "The wind has broken loose from its chain..." said Gusev, listening.
