Disposed of.
There was only one passenger on board a certain sailing vessel, who took his meals in the after,cabin, with the captain and mate, and who always suspected that those two worthies defrauded him of his due share of eatables when they got the Obanee. One day. a jam roly-poly pudding appeared at table, just enough for three; and the passenger, who had a sweet tooth was instantly on the alert to see that he got his fair and proper third. “ Mr X., do you like pudding ends, sir?” the captain asked with bis knifd poised in air ready to cut the delicacy, “ No, I do not like ends, sir,’ replied the passenger, who considered that ha had as much right to the middle slice as anybody else. “Ah well, then, me and my mate does 1” was the gallant captain’s reply as he cut the pudding and deposited half on his mate’s plate and half on his own.
