Once I saw him fishing in a peculiar way, which reminded me instantly of the chumming process with which every mackerel fisherman on the coast is familiar. He caught a pollywog for bait, with which he waded to a deep, cool place under a shady bank. There he whacked his pollywog into small bits and tossed them into the water, where the chum speedily brought a shoal of little fish to feed.
The food, thus arranged, is placed in vast steam closets, where it simmers gayly for hours, in its own, and fifty other vapors. Any one who knows the rudiments of cookery, will recognize that with this system no viand can have any particular flavor, the partridges having a taste of their neighbor the roast beef, which in turn suggests the plum pudding it has been "chumming" with.
"So you know how to play 'Nap," Wolf Larsen was saying in a pleased sort of voice. "I might have guessed an Englishman would know. I learned it myself in English ships." Thomas Mugridge was beside himself, a blithering imbecile, so pleased was he at chumming thus with the captain.
The sport of chumming for snappers, even if they hooked more of sluggish fluke than of the gamier fish to tempt which the chopped bait is devoted, was so exciting that Betty, sailing the sloop, overlooked a pregnant cloud that streaked up from the horizon almost like a puff of cannon smoke. The squall was upon them so suddenly that Louise could not wind in her line in good season.
"Say," said Terwilliger, "haven't you been chumming with an Italian ghost named Shylock over on the other shore?" "Shylock!" said the ghost. "No, h'I've never 'eard the naime.

"Yes, sir; two hundred and fifty acres, and the fittest dairy in these parts. If, the widder marries again, her husband will fall into a very good thing. The dairy company at Ithaca once offered fifty thousand dollars for the cattle and land." "Gracious!" came from Tom. "We've been chumming with an heiress. Are the Lanings rich, too?" "Very well to do. That is their place, that side road.
But no doubt she'll first of all marry you off On hearing this, Christine could hold out no longer, but burst into laughter. 'To one of her old friends, eh? perhaps the general who has a silver chin. What a good joke! So far they had gone no further than chumming like old friends.
If she and Josephine got chumming and compared notes, I'm rather of the opinion that there'd be another divorce." Fouche's reply so enraged the Emperor that he dismissed him from his post, and the Empire began to fall. "I leave you at your zenith, Sire," said Fouche. "You send me to Rome as governor in the hope that I will get the Roman fever and die.
"And we'll lure them as they swim, eh?" "That's it." "How will we make up?" "You are to became Dudie Dunne. I will become Silly Sal." "And we'll bet on the races?" "We will." "It's a go, Cad. To-morrow we will take in the races and chum for our game." On the following day the two detectives, well gotten up for their "chumming" scheme, started down for the Sheepshead Bay track.
I had really meant to show you a proof of that editorial, but I wasn't sure until they had to close the page that night that I was ready to make the break. I had been pretty hot that evening at the Country Club when I saw Pettit and Thatcher chumming together; I wanted to be sure I had cooled off.
