In _A Certain Dr. Thorndyke_, 1927, by Richard Austin Freeman:

     . . . a consignment of ivory, consisting of “thirty-nine
     large tusks in three large crates, at present in the hold
     of the brigantine _Speedwell_, and fifty-one scribellos in
     a large canvas bag, wired up and sealed, also in the hold”;
