Well, sir, that hoss powerful brute 'e were, with a eye like Sin goes along like as if 'e 'adn't a evil thought in 'is 'ead; but all on a sudden 'e comes to a ditch, and sort o' rolls Mas'r Dick into it, and bungs 'is 'ead against a stone. 'Then he was vicious, after all? 'No, sir that's the extr'ord'nary part of it. He comes right back to the stables to me and pulls up short.
"`Now, fetch me the kitchen-poker! I shouted; it was brought me, and I commenced such a smashing as I should think has never been witnessed before, nor is likely to be witnessed again. Right and left, and all round me, the yard was flooded with malt liquors, spirits and wines. Then I knocked out the bungs of the casks, and joined their contents to the flood.
I came near pitching off the bowsprit the other day; and, when I scrambled inboard again, I went aft to get a squint at 'em. Why, Bungs, they are all open between the staves. Shame on you! Suppose you yourself should fall over-board, and find yourself going down with buoys under you of your own making what then?"

When the ogre saw this new obstacle, and that he could not make holes so fast as they found bungs to stop them, he stripped himself stark naked and swam across to the other side of the river with his clothes upon his head. Mase, who put his ear to every chink, heard the ogre coming and exclaimed, "Alas! matters go ill with us now. I already hear the clatter of the ogre's heels.
In Chittagong, when a woman cannot bring her child to the birth, the midwife gives orders to throw all doors and windows wide open, to uncork all bottles, to remove the bungs from all casks, to unloose the cows in the stall, the horses in the stable, the watchdog in his kennel, to set free sheep, fowls, ducks, and so forth.
He began: Of all the lives, I ever say, A pirate's be for I; Hap what hap may he's allus gay And drinks an' bungs his eye. For his work he's never loath; An' a-pleasurin' he will go; Tho' sartin sure to be popt off, Yo ho, with the rum below. At the conclusion of the stanza his audience broke into loud applause.
"Muster all hands!" was now the order; when, upon calling the roll, the cooper was the only man missing. "I told you so, men," cried the Captain of the Head; "I said we would lose a man before long." "Bungs, is it?" cried Scrimmage, the sheet-anchor-man; "I told him his buoys wouldn't save a drowning man; and now he has proved it!"
