He bit off a long piece of sponge, tore from the roll a square piece of linen, drew from it a bit of thread, took the saucepan containing the milk from the stove, filled the phial with milk, drove down the sponge halfway into its neck, covered the sponge with linen, tied this cork in with the thread, applied his cheeks to the phial to be sure that it was not too hot, and seized under his left arm the bewildered bundle which was still crying.

I made one more effort to save my reputation. "We should look so funny, sir, riding through Bailleul with a great saucepan. We might send the Company cook to buy one to-morrow."

SAGO GRUEL. Take two tablespoonfuls of sago and place them in a small saucepan, moisten gradually with a little cold water.

Add a little grated nutmeg and sugar to taste; if preferred, half a pat of butter may also be added with the sugar.

SALT FISH WITH CREAM. Soak and boil some good barrel cod, till about three parts done. Divide it into flakes, put them into a saucepan with some cream, a little pepper, and a handful of parsley scalded and chopped. Stew it gently till tender, thicken the sauce with two or three yolks of eggs, and serve it up.

While it is cooking prepare a meat sauce, and a Bechamel sauce as follows: MEAT SAUCE Cut the meat into small dice; chop up fine together the ham, onion, carrot, and celery.

A leathern vessel for water, a little saucepan for boiling in, a handful of salt, and some rice and bread, were all that I took with me. 15th February. Late in the evening I reached Nurankura, a small place surrounded by low mountains. I found here some tents belonging to Captain Burdon, a maid, and a servant.
