They all went to his mother; and when one day the family was in sore distress, he went into pitch-penny cc down to wharf* with two cents, to see what he could do. He had a dangerous run of luck, and took home his win- nings, forty cents, to his mother. 23 CAP'N CHADWICK She at first refused to touch the un- clean thing; but her children were hungry, and there was not a cent in the house to buy bread, and she suc- cumbed to... the insistence of her boy.
