The boys on board the Saint Vincent in their slang called this stroking business `stroniky'; and they have a rude rhyme anent it, which embodies likewise what they catalogue as the hardships of the service "Pea doo and bolliky, Hard work and stroniky, Who wouldn't join the Navy!"
Not only this; through that wily individual's artful manoeuvring and pathetic appeal to the gods of the cook's galley, we also contrived to get some dinner, which, indeed, was particularly grateful to all of us after our exertions. The meal this day, being a Wednesday, consisted, for a change, of salt pork and pea-soup; `pea doo and bolliky, as it is styled in Saint Vincent slang.
It being `pea doo and bolliky' day, my fast friend Mick, who, from his highly developed instincts in the grub line, had been elected cook of our mess on the lower deck, had saved me a good basin of soup and hunch of bread, with which I managed to assuage the cravings of my appetite, this having been accentuated not only by my long wait but by my exercise aloft.
