I resupplied their nutriment from the crystal vessel.
In general terms, my plan is to turn over to General Foster the city of Savannah, to sally forth with my army resupplied, cross the Savannah, feign on Charleston and Augusta, but strike between, breaking en route the Charleston & Augusta Railroad, also a large part of that from Branchville and Camden toward North Carolina, and then rapidly to move for some point of the railroad from Charleston to Wilmington, between the Santee and Cape Fear Rivers; then, communicating with the fleet in the neighborhood of Georgetown, I would turn upon Wilmington or Charleston, according to the importance of either.
As for me, I am practical, and winter is winter, and sleet is sleet, and ice is ice, and a tea-cup is a tea-cup; and if you will pass mine up to the hostess to be resupplied, I will like it a great deal better than all this sentimentalism.

Others I have never tested, nor do I know how they could be resupplied if lost or wasted.

Greeting her with pardonable abruptness, I expressed my wishes in these possibly alarming words: "Jinny, you can do something for me. Find out I know you can, and that, too, without arousing suspicion or compromising either of us where Mr. Moore, of Waverley Avenue, buys his groceries, and when you have done that, whether or not he has lately resupplied himself with candles."
Home bases that approach perfection were evidenced after the battle off the Skagerak; for the wounded ships of both sides took refuge after the battle in protected bases, where they were repaired and refitted, and resupplied with fighting men and fuel.
In addition they resupplied themselves with as much ammunition as scouts and hunters could conveniently carry, and toward morning left the fort. Sunrise found them some distance from the palisades, and upon the flank of a frightened crowd of fugitives.
