In the middle of this I had my tent always standing, being a piece of a sail spread over poles, set up for that purpose, and which never wanted any repair or renewing; and under this I had made me a squab or couch with the skins of the creatures I had killed, and with other soft things, and a blanket laid on them, such as belonged to our sea-bedding, which I had saved; and a great watch-coat to cover me.
A kis tér közepén álló, cölöpökre emelt vitorlavászon sátor, elkészülte óta nem sok javítást igényelt. A sátor alatt egyfajta heverőt alakítottam ki magamnak a megölt állatok bőréből és más puha holmikból.
