near the fire, of which we were to eat
our breakfast, and the rest was to be
divided among us.
This man came, we thought, too
often 10 the pile, and helped himself
bountifully. He would return to his
seat on his blanket, and one or two
of us saw, or thought we saw. that
he concealed pieces of bread under it.
