So with this resolution I composed myself for a time, and resolved that I would go to work with all speed to build me a wall with piles and cables, &c., in a circle, as before, and set my tent up in it when it was finished; but that I would venture to stay where I was till it was finished, and fit to remove.
Acquetatomi in questa conclusione per un certo tempo, risolvei di mettermi bensì con tutta la sollecitudine all’opera di fabbricarmi una trincera con pertiche e gomone entro un circolo, come dianzi, ma di non trasportarvi la mia tenda finchè questa trincera non fosse finita; in somma di tenermi al primo alloggio finchè tutto non fosse pronto ed apparecchiato per prenderne un altro.
