"Church bells, Nobby!" cried a hundred voices. "Garn, do the church bells!" So he did the church bells, as the wind brings the sound across the valley on a summer evening at home, wringing his shipmates' sentimental heartstrings to the limit of their enjoyment. "Strewth!" ejaculated a bearded member of the audience when the turn was over, relighting his pipe with a hand that shook.

"'Strewth!" yapped a sailor, "That's the bloomin' funniest Quaker Oats I've tasted.
