{ Seated on a bench in the sun on the Auckland waterfront the other day, an old skell-back was yarning with an- ■ other ancient. "Talkipg about bacca," he said, "I mind when aboatd the old ' Crusader, ' 'way back in '75, and we was 'alf way 'ome we ran bang out of ship's bacca. What did we do? Why we done without, or else smoked dtied tealeaves, and that ain't no ti-eat. I ain't forget yet the first smoke I 'ad when we got ashore. My eye! Sailormen are better of£ for bacca now than what they was in the old days. All you'se gotter do is to make for the nighest bacca shop and buy a tin of Sut Plug No. 10. It's a diffi'rent from the ordinary bacca as Jamaica rum i^ from limejuiee." The tobacco so much appreciated by this old salt is one of ■ the renowned toasted blends — Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullskead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold — as harmless (being toasted) as they are sweet and i'ragmnl.* ■4
