Seated on a. bench in the sun on the Auckland waterfront the other day, an old shell-back was yarning with another ancient. "Talking about bacca/' he said, "I mini when aboard the old 'Crusader,' 'way back in '75, and we was 'alf way 'ome we ran bang out of ship's bacca. What did' fve do? Why we done witliout, • or else smoked dr-sd tealeaves and that ain't no treat. I ain't forgot yet" the first smoke I 'ad when w© got ashore. My eyel Sailormen are better off for bacca now ihan what they was in the old days, AJ1 yoti'se gotter do is to make for tho nighest bacca shop and buy a tin of Cut Plitg No. 10. It's as diff'rent froxn the ordinarv bacca as Jamaica rum is from limTb iice." The tobacco so much appreciated " by this old salt is one nf fche renowned toasted blends — Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullsbead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold— -as harmless (being toasted) as they are eweet and fragrant.*
