All this wars said and done so quietly, that nobody took the alarm; and when the mate called out, in a loud voice, "Miles, pass a bread-bag filled and some cold grub into that launch the men may be hungry before they get back," no one seemed to think more was meant than was thus openly expressed.
We passed the sail into the boat, and lowered a bread-bag, a kid full of beef and pork, and a breaker of fresh water. I took all these precautions the more readily, as I did not know but we might be compelled to cast the boat adrift, and one would not wish to resort to such a step, without desiring to leave his crew the best possible chance for their lives.
Taking my bread-bag with me as before, I went to work with renewed hope, and after long and severe labour severe on account of the crouching attitude I had to keep, as also from the pain caused by my wounded thumb I succeeded in detaching one of the end pieces from its place. Something soft lay beyond. There was encouragement even in this.
Didn't I sew him up in a bread-bag, and didn't he come back just as nothing had happened; and didn't the corporal launch him into a surge over the taffrail, and he comes back just as if nothing had happened?

In warm latitudes, the men, as I have mentioned before, generally take their meals on deck, and it was Jean's grand amusement, as well as business, to cruise along amongst the messes, poking her snout into every bread-bag, and very often she scalded her tongue in the soup-kids.

It was tough material but it yielded to his insistence. In the corner there was a single tiny crumb they had overlooked. He lifted it gently with his great hand.
Taking his hat, he rose from the table, and mounting the ladder, "On second thought," said he, addressing Skysail again, "I won't throw the cats overboard; the sailors have a foolish superstition about that animal its d d unlucky. No; put them alive in a bread-bag, and send them on shore in the bum-boat."
His chest could not be got up from below, and though I borrowed an old bread-bag from the steward, it was not half big enough, and his sea-boots and things his mother had given him to keep him dry and cover his bed not oilskins, like ours. 'Mackintoshes, I suggested. 'Yes, that's the name they were all lost. It did seem a pity.
"I tell you, sir, to go to the mast-head: if not, I'll be d -d if I don't hoist you up in a bread-bag." "There's nothing about bread-bags in the articles of war, sir," replied Jack; "but I'll tell you what there is, sir"; and Jack commenced reading,
"Yes," said Fullalove, winking to Kenealy; "but we don't know what it means. Do you, sir?" "Iss, sar. Dat ar expression he signify a darned old cuss dat says to dis child, 'My lord Vespasium, take benevolence on your insidious slave, and invest me in a bread-bag, instead of fighting for de ladies like a freenindependum citizen.
