LXXXII.

Of poor Pedrillo something still remained,

But was used sparingly,—some were afraid,

And others still their appetites constrained,

Or but at times a little supper made;

All except Juan, who throughout abstained,

Chewing a piece of bamboo, and some lead:[130]At length they caught two Boobies, and a Noddy,[131]And then they left off eating the dead body.
