Without knowing it, YOU played into their hands by going into Tarbox's cabin."
I've been hones' with both of ye, and ye've been hones' with me. Eh?" "Yep." "Lem, do ye want all the swag in this here room, only a sharin' up with Eli, without havin' to share and share alike with me?" A small jewel bounded from the steel hook, and the pliers fell from Lem's fingers. Eli dropped back upon his bare feet. "What's in the wind?" demanded Lem.
The dead bushman's name was Jim, apparently; but they found no portraits, nor locks of hair, nor any love letters, nor anything of that kind in his swag not even a reference to his mother; only some papers relating to Union matters.

"But listen, what are the mates saying?" The two black cat pirates were conversing excitedly under cover of the music, and presently the children heard what Prowler was whispering to Growler: "Look here, Matey, where's the rest of the swag, the suit case and his sword, you know?" "On board ship, stowed away in Cap'n's cabin," answered Growler. "You don't mean to "

If Bill returned on the expiration of his furlough, he should be reinstated, and all would be forgiven; if he failed to return, such default would be taken as evidence of contumacy; excommunication would promptly follow, and the station would thereby be acquitted of all responsibility touching any destitute old bummer who might swag the country with the yarn that he had been boundary riding on Avondale for ten years.
Nobody told me it was you; but I just knowed it must 'a' ben you, soon as I heard 'bout that whiskey business; and I knowed you hadn't got the money becuz you'd 'a' got at me some way or other and told me even if you was mum to everybody else. Tom, something's always told me we'd never get holt of that swag." "Why, Huck, I never told on that tavern-keeper.
A 'waler' is a bushman who is 'on the loaf. He 'humps his drum, or 'swag, and starts on the wallaby track; i.e., shoulders the bundle containing his worldly belongings, and goes out pleasuring. A 'shanty, originally a low public-house, now denotes any tumble-down hut.
Tietkens got the swag and things ready to start away.
