'S'pose you'll have to go, says the missus for the bosses was both away at another place they got. 'S'pose so, says I. 'Better take my swag with me anyhow. Course, by the time my three months was up, things was at the slackest; an' I could n't go straight back to a decent place, an' me fresh out o' chokey. Fact, I can't go back to that district no more.
The moon shone in his face and kept him awake, and he lay on his swag in a very unhappy frame of mind. Mick's behaviour to Eagle worried him. His body was too tired and sore to rest, but his mind was unusually active, and kept on turning over and over the incidents of the day, and especially the short struggle between the white man and the warragul native.
Meanwhile, in exchange for the latest news from down under, I'll dump your swag, and keep an eye on her till you call again.
Mac settled that difficulty by saying that "all hands could be put on to pluck birds. The place is stiff with 'em," he explained, showing what a simple matter it would be, after all. The Maluka turning out two cushions, a large and a smaller one, simplified matters even more. "A bird in the hand you know," he said, finding room for them in the swag.

I'll wire you, twice a day, and you can report to me, on the train." "Any clue?" sadly demanded Witherspoon. "Oh! Clayton has got clean away with his swag," said Ferris.
It was in Westralia the Land of T'othersiders and, therefore, we were not surprised when Mitchell turned up early one morning, with his swag and an atmosphere of salt water about him. He'd had a rough trip, he said, and would take a spell that day and take the lay of the land and have something cooked for us by the time we came home; and go to graft himself next morning.
They camped five miles beyond Miner's Rest on the second night, preferring the comparative solitude of the Bush to the scant accommodation and some what boisterous company at the shanty lately established to cater for the fortune-hunters streaming to the new rushes. Mike selected the spot and dropped his swag. 'We've tramped far enough to-day, he said.
Others, again, he so quashed and bebumped, that, with a sound bounce under the hollow of their short ribs, he overturned their stomachs so that they died immediately. To some, with a smart souse on the epigaster, he would make their midriff swag, then, redoubling the blow, gave them such a homepush on the navel that he made their puddings to gush out.
Then we divided the swag into three parts as we had agreed. Thompson took one, I took another, and the other was divided among the four troopers, who were not running such a risk as we were. I never heard anything more about the matter, as far as I was concerned, though there was a row. The prior heard that Peterborough had never been near Lerida, and came over and saw General Wyndham.
