I remembered the lump of beeswax with which I made candles in my African adventure; but I had none of that now; the only remedy I had was, that when I had killed a goat I saved the tallow, and with a little dish made of clay, which I baked in the sun, to which I added a wick of some oakum, I made me a lamp; and this gave me light, though not a clear, steady light, like a candle.
Volt viszont faggyúm, a megölt kecskéből. Ezt egy általam készített agyagedénybe tettem, és egy kútból sodort kanócot tettem bele.
