There's the key; you fill a pannikin and bring it up.
Treasure Island by Stevenson, Robert Louis View in context
Perched on the rim of Michael's pannikin, this inconsiderable adventurer from out of the dark into the sun of life, a mere spark and mote between the darks, by a ruffing of his salmon-pink crest, a swift and enormous dilation of his bead-black pupils, and a raucous imperative cry, as of all the gods, in his throat, could make Michael give back and permit the fastidious selection of the choicest tidbits of his dish.
Michael, Brother of Jerry by London, Jack View in context
I said I could not look at it: and thereupon he gave me some brandy and water in a tin pannikin, and left me once more to myself.
Kidnapped by Stevenson, Robert Louis View in context
