Just pour a little water into the tin mug,
It will help it down,” he said,
After he had taken a few mouthfuls
Of the fish.
They had found a tin mug,
With a jar of fresh water.
They husbanded the water carefully,
And David poured out very little,
Lest it should be jerked
Out of the mug
As the boat was tossed about.
Harry dipped the bits of fish
Into the water before eating them.
It took away somewhat of the raw taste,
He fancied.
Still
He very soon
Came to an end
Of his
Meal.
