Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


By seven o'clock we were called away to bathe and go to bed. We stripped
our clothes, wrapping them up in our coats and buckling our belts about
them, and deposited them in a heaped rack and on the floor--a beautiful
scheme for the spread of vermin. Then, two by two, we entered the
bathroom. There were two ordinary tubs, and this I know: the two men
preceding had washed in that water, we washed in the same water, and it
was not changed for the two men that followed us. This I know; but I am
also certain that the twenty-two of us washed in the same water.
