I fetched the water bucket and started to salvage what I could of the cargo.
Pretty soon I had, as nigh as I could reckon it, about fourteen pound out of the five scooped up and in the bucket.

I begun to think the miracle of loaves and fishes was comin' to pass again.

I was some shy on fish, but I was makin' up on loaves.

Then I sort of looked matters over and found what I had in the bucket was about one pound of meal to seven of sawdust.

Then I gave it up.
