But the high flat rim of the dish was plentifully garnished by fingers of corn-bread, and the gravy was "galoppshus," so Potts said. Salmon P., having appeased the pangs of hunger, returned to his perplexed study of Benham. "Did I understand you to say you came into this country to prospect?" "Came down the Never-Know-What and prospected a whole summer at Forty Mile."
He forgot the danger of his situation, and listened to the conversation of the old negro and his wife, as though there was not a rebel within a hundred miles of him. "There," he exclaimed, after he had finished the last piece of corn-bread, and pushed his chair back from the table, "I believe I've eaten supper enough to satisfy any two men living."
Harry was very impatient to be off, but Charity was so certain that he would catch his death of cold if he started before his clothes were dry that he allowed himself to be persuaded to wait. And then she fried some salt pork, on which, with a great piece of corn-bread, he made a hearty meal, for he was very hungry. "Have you had your dinner, Charity?" he asked.
"We must make sure that our moccasins are in good shape, Rebby; and we must take some corn-bread, for 'twill be a good journey. How early can we start, Rebby?" "Before sunrise, surely," responded Rebby, "and I will write on a strip of birch-bark what we are going to do, and pin it to Father's hat. Then they will not worry about us." "Worry! Why, Father will think it a brave deed," declared Anna.
Bread, meat, vegetables, and fruits, but bread first of all. What is bread made of?" "Wheat, I think," said Nat. "Rye, too mother's rye-bread is drea'fly good," said Rap. "Don't forget Mammy Bun's corn-bread," added Olive.
Our provision here became worse and less, until it very nearly reached the starvation point. For some months, the only food we received was a very short allowance of corn-bread, baked with all the bran in it, and without salt, with a little pork, mostly spoiled! Frequently the pork would be completely covered with maggots, and disgusting as it was, hunger compelled us to eat it!
Joyous reunion, with much luck or little luck, but always enough for supper: trout rolled in cornmeal and fried, corn on the cob just garnered from a willing or unwilling farmer that afternoon, corn-bread, the most luscious corn-bread in the world, baked camper-style by the man of the party, and red, red apples, eaten by two people who had waited four years for just that.
Joe paused in the mixing of gravy and corn-bread designed to be conveyed to his mouth on the blade of his knife and lifted inquiring eyes to his mother's troubled face. "No, son; we fixed it up," said she. "You fixed it up?" he repeated, his eyes beaming with pleasure. "Is he going to give us another chance?" "You go on and eat your supper, Joe; we'll talk it over when you're through.
After all, doing nothing on an island twenty-five miles out at sea was pretty dull work. The boys had an early supper and were soon asleep. Turning out at daybreak, they despatched a hearty meal of corn-bread and bacon. Everybody but Percy took hold with the dishes and helped tidy up the camp. Shortly after sunrise they were sailing out of the cove in the Barracouta.
All was safe, and the settlers might go home assured that there was no danger to themselves or their families. Having delivered this welcome message in a grand and semi-official manner, the corporal dismounted from his steed, in answer to a pressing invitation from Battles, and unbent himself like an ordinary mortal to partake of a very hearty breakfast of venison, corn-bread, and coffee.
