Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


There is one thing we cannot understand. A week has passed, and the
men show no signs of being starved into submission. Repeatedly and
in vain has Mr. Pike interrogated the hands aft with us. One and
all, from the cook to Buckwheat, they swear they have no knowledge of
any food for'ard, save the small supply in the galley and the barrel
of hardtack in the forecastle. Yet it is very evident that those
for'ard are not starving. We see the smoke from the galley-stove and
can only conclude that they have food to cook.
