    • 1894, Rudyard Kipling, McAndrew’s Hymn
      In port (we used no cargo-steam) I'd daunder down the streets — / An ijjit grinnin' in a dream — for shells an' parrakeets, / An' walkin'-sticks o' carved Bamboo an' blowfish stuffed an' dried — / Fillin' my bunk wi' rubbishry the Chief put overside.
