ditty box

It warned me against keeping "a ditty-box that others have a better claim to, and is like to cost you dear."

I had the corners of that ditty-box off as soon as Isaac had gone for the night.

If there is a thief on board, no man's ditty-box will be safe.

He wanted a ditty-box, too; something extra large and old, and strong, and a tray with a lock-up till in it.
