But there was no time to waste and recruiting was strenuously pushed. Kellogg must have been stuffed pretty full of prejudice, for I never came to town that I did not hear something about it.
"Hardly," smiled Keller. "He'll stand the acid that way." "The thing that stuck in my craw was his lying about seeing you on the night of the bank robbery. He said you were riding the roan with white stockings. Later we found out that couldn't be true. Then I knew Jim was telling the truth about you being with him in the hills at the time.
The nuggets found in the craw of the ptarmigan, though not large, were of pure gold, and once clean of filth looked good to the eyes of the patient prospectors. They had certainly come from the bars of some stream, which, in an exposed place, had been wind-swept, furnishing the grouse a late feeding ground when tundra berries were covered with snow.
On the 15th, having finished wooding and watering, a few hands only were on shore making brooms, the rest being employed on board setting up the rigging, and putting the ship in a condition for sea. Mr Forster, in his botanical excursion this day, shot a pigeon, in the craw of which was a wild nutmeg. He took some pains to find the tree, but his endeavours were without success.
They, of course, don't care thrippence about me; it's you they hope to annoy. Then after beating them at their own game of daily little courtesies, we want a fight with them a good stiff fight about something wherein we are dead right, to remind them sharply that we have sand in our craw .

And, to do him justice, sir, he didna attempt to deny it, but said that ye wud do the same by me, if I would try ye, and offered to back ye against ony man in the twa kingdoms.
"Wish I had a bag with me," he thought, as he heard a peculiar squeaking arise from beneath his feet. "Never mind: I'll tie their legs together with my handkerchief, or thrust them into toy breast." Croak croak craw awk! came from one of the ravens, as it swept by him with a rush. "Wait a minute, my fine fellow, or madam," said the boy.
He looked at the sheepman and he laughed shortly in an ugly, jeering way. "Scared, Brad?" The host moistened his lips. "What of, Dug?" "Don't ask me," said the big man scornfully. "You always had about as much sand in yore craw as a rabbit." "Did you come here to make trouble, Dug?" "No, I came to collect a bill." "So? Didn't know I owed you any money right now. How much is it?"
Take twenty-five large fine oysters, and chop them. Mix with them half a pint of grated bread-crumbs, half a handful of chopped parsley, a quarter of a pound of butter, two table-spoonfuls, of cream or rich milk, and the beaten yolks of three eggs. When it is thoroughly mixed, stuff the craw of the turkey with it, and sew up the skin.
