In fact, I almost went crazy and lost all my training, but hung on by a little rag of intelligence.
Only a little rag was left, wriggling madly in the wind.
But even the little rag of sail that was left was enough to take it at a good speed over the waves.
"Well, I guess Joe James knew his stuff if this little rag makes you look like that."
Say, did you see him collar them little rags and dirt and things?
The name derives from the Italian for little rag.
And when it came out I gave it a puff in my little rag, and made sure the others did the same.
Soon our little rag of canvas was torn away, but still we rushed on before the following seas at a very great speed.
If you must be so silly, try hiding behind this instead of that little rag.
Here I sit looking out over the sea, on this little rag of an island, Uskair.
