All the remedy that I found for this was, that at last I did remember I had, among the seamen’s clothes which were saved out of the ship, some neckcloths of calico or muslin; and with some pieces of these I made three small sieves proper enough for the work; and thus I made shift for some years: how I did afterwards, I shall show in its place.
Seulement je me ressouvins qu'il y avait parmi les hardes de matelots que j'avais emportées du navire quelques cravates de calicot ou de mousseline. J'en pris plusieurs morceaux, et je fis trois petits sas, assez propre à leur usage.
