I have mentioned that I saved the skins of all the creatures that I killed, I mean four-footed ones, and I had them hung up, stretched out with sticks in the sun, by which means some of them were so dry and hard that they were fit for little, but others were very useful.
Ik heb reeds gezegd, dat ik de huiden van al de viervoetige beesten, die ik gedood had, had bewaard, en die met eenige stokken in de zon uitgespannen, waardoor sommigen zoo hard geworden waren, dat zij genoegzaam onbruikbaar waren; van anderen echter had ik veel nut.
