None of it was allowed to run to waste, though, for the scupper-holes which drain the deck were all carefully plugged, and as soon as the "junk" had been dissected all the oil was carefully "squeegeed" up and poured into the try-pots Two men were now told off as "blubber-room men," whose duty it became to go below, and squeezing themselves in as best they could between the greasy masses of fat, cut it up into "horse-pieces" about eighteen inches long and six inches square.— The Cruise of the Cachalot Round the World After Sperm Whales
I was on deck in a moment, and by stopping a scupper -- as I had done the previous morning -- presently had by me a far bigger supply of water than I needed; from which I got a good drink lying down to it, and filled an empty bean-tin for another drink after my breakfast, and so had my two bottles full to last me until the next day -- and was pretty well satisfied by the rain's recurrence that I could count upon a shower every morning about the hour of dawn.— In the Sargasso Sea A Novel
