The men tore off the tough hide from their pork, as if they were Indians scalping Christians. Some cursed the cook for a rogue, who kept from us our butter and cheese, in order to make away with it himself in an underhand manner; selling it at a premium to other messes, and thus accumulating a princely fortune at our expense.
