Mickie is very proud of his well-conditioned spouse, "Jinny" "Missus Michael," as Mickie calls her when in the sportive vein and Jinny, or "Penti-byer," her maiden name, reciprocates the regard, and sees that the dilly-bag, which does duty for the larder, is supplied with yams, nuts, roots and shell-fish, Mickie being responsible for the fish speared in the lagoon at low tide and the scrub-fowl eggs, and the ivory white grubs, etc., upon which they live when there is no "white fella" sitting down.
So the black boy with a careless flourish fills his dilly-bag, while he smiles at the serious attempts of the white man to imitate his skill. Owing to the brevity and the frailness of the line, the catch is limited to fish under the recognised standard as to size.
It was done with the cleanness and quickness of a conjuring trick. The dough was divided into two pats, to be cooked under the hot ashes. Then Mike improvised his wire grid again, and in a few minutes the steak he had carried in a dilly-bag from Miner's Rest was sizzling and spitting over the embers. Done's admiration for his mate was growing rapidly.
