Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


At the wheel was one of our storm-waifs. I set the course due east
for Valparaiso, and sent the steward below to bring up sufficient
food for one substantial meal for the mutineers.


"When do we get our next grub, sir?" Nosey Murphy asked, as the
steward served the supplies down to him from the poop.


"At midday," I answered. "And as long as you and your gang are good,
you'll get your grub three times each day. You can choose your own
watches any way you please. But the ship's work must be done, and
done properly. If it isn't, then the grub stops. That will do. Now
go for'ard."
