_June_ 28.—Having been somewhat refreshed with the sleep I had had, and the fit being entirely off, I got up; and though the fright and terror of my dream was very great, yet I considered that the fit of the ague would return again the next day, and now was my time to get something to refresh and support myself when I should be ill; and the first thing I did, I filled a large square case-bottle with water, and set it upon my table, in reach of my bed; and to take off the chill or aguish disposition of the water, I put about a quarter of a pint of rum into it, and mixed them together.
Le 28.--Un tant soit peu soulagé par le repos que j'avais pris, et mon accès étant tout-à-fait passé, je me levai. Quoique je fusse encore plein de l'effroi et de la terreur de mon rêve; je fis réflexion cependant que l'accès de fièvre reviendrait le jour suivant, et qu'il fallait en ce moment me procurer de quoi me rafraîchir et me soutenir quand je serais malade.
