"If we had made him walk the plank, as I proposed, I'm blowed if it wouldn't have been much more to the purpose than putting him on this here island, with lots o' prog, and everything calkilated to make him and his domineering officers comfortable for the rest of their days." "Hold your tongue, you mutineering rascal," exclaimed the captain angrily.
"Could we not make the flour last more than the fourteen days by putting ourselves on half rations?" Harold asked. "We might do that," Peter said, "but I tell you the rations would be small even for fourteen days. We've calkilated according to how much we eat when we've plenty of meat, but without meat it'd be only a starvation ration to each.
