It's a big country up there, and we've always taken plenty of space for our travels.
Then we ate our supper, smoked a pipeful of our precious tobacco between us, and discussed our plans for the morrow, Yorke listening to my suggestions as if they were put forward by a man of his own age and experience, instead of by one who was as yet but a young seaman, and a poor navigator.

The other answered: "I am weary, having come a long journey, and would like to enjoy a pipeful of tobacco in your company. I am sure you will not object to that." Dung handed him a pipe and tobacco. But the other constable said: "I do not need them. Just you keep on smoking. It is enough for me to enjoy the odor." So they chatted awhile together, and together waded through the stream.
