Seated on a beneb in. ihe sun on th« Auckland waterfront the other day, ait old shell-bapk was yarning with an3 other ancient. "Talking about bacca,'5 h© sajd, "I mind when ahoard the old 'Grnsader,' 'w4y back in '75, and wa was ?alf way 'ome we ran bang out ef ship's bacca. What did we do? Why wo done without, or els© smoked dr-ed tealeaves and that ain't so treat. I ain't forgot yet the first smoke I 'ad when we got ashore. My eyel Sailormen are better off for bacca now than what they was in the old days. All you'se gotter do ia to make for the nighest bacca shop .and buy a tin of Out Plug No. 10. It's as diff'rent from the ordinary bacca as Jatnaica rum is from Iim^uice." Tbe tobacco so much appreciated by this old salt is one of the renowned toasted blends — Out Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Out No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold "and Desert Gold — as harmless- (being toasted) as they are sweet attd frag« rant.*
