By degrees the bells quit ringing in the commodore's ears, and this is what he heard Captain Scraggs yelling: "Oh, you McGuffey. Oh, you bully Irish terrier. Soak it to 'em, Mac. Kill the beggars. You've got a dozen of 'em already. Plug away, you good old hunk of Irish bacon." Mr. Gibney was now himself once more.
"Well, I'se got a hunk er middlin'," pursued Big Abel thoughtfully, "a strip er fat en a strip er lean des like hit oughter be but a nigger 'ooman she gun hit ter me, en I 'low Ole Marster wouldn't tech hit wid a ten-foot pole."

So we compromised on a double order of boiled rice and milk with a hunk of pumpkin pie on the side.
