I did get to sleep for a few hours, and then some part of the boat which seemed to have grown up in the night - for it certainly was not there when we started, and it had disappeared by the morning - kept digging into my spine.
Mi addormentai per qualche ora, e poi qualche parte della barca, che sembrava fosse cresciuta durante la notte — perchè certo non c’era alla partenza e la mattina scomparve — continuava a forarmi la spina dorsale.
