"Look here," he said. "There are two kinds, with blue label and yellow
label. You see I shall put the stuff in the yellow labelled tin."
"Yes, I see," I replied; and he opened the packet, shook out the
contents, so that it lay spread on the top of the brown-looking gluey
meat essence, and then stirred it well round with a knife, till it could
not help being well mixed.
"There, we must chance that," he whispered, "but it seems a very small
dose."
"Mr Frewen said it was wonderfully strong," I said.
"Well, we must hope so. Take the tins. You will not make any mistake?"
"Oh no, I'll take care," I said. "The yellow one for the men, the blue
for us; but you don't catch me touching it."
"Nor me, Dale," he said, with a nod. "And look here, I shan't open
this, but here's a big tin of kangaroo-tail; give him that too for
warming up for our dinner."
