All
this
time
I
worked
very
hard
,
the
rains
hindering
me
many
days
,
nay
,
sometimes
weeks
together
;
but
I
thought
I
should
never
be
perfectly
secure
till
this
wall
was
finished
.
And
it
is
scarce
credible
what
inexpressible
labor
everything
was
done
with
,
especially
the
bringing
piles
of
the
woods
,
and
driving
them
into
the
ground
;
for
I
made
them
much
bigger
than
I
need
to
have
done
.
282
When
this
wall
was
finished
,
and
the
outside
double-fenced
with
a
turf-wall
raised
up
close
to
it
,
I
persuaded
myself
that
if
any
people
were
to
come
on
shore
there
,
they
would
not
perceive
anything
like
a
habitation
;
and
it
was
very
well
I
did
so
,
as
may
be
observed
hereafter
upon
a
very
remarkable
occasion
.
283
During
this
time
,
I
made
my
round
in
the
woods
for
game
every
day
,
when
the
rain
admitted
me
,
and
made
frequent
discoveries
in
these
walks
of
something
or
other
to
my
advantage
;
particularly
I
found
a
kind
of
wild
pigeons
,
who
built
,
not
as
wood
pigeons
in
a
tree
,
but
rather
as
house
pigeons
,
in
the
holes
of
the
rocks
.
And
taking
some
young
ones
,
I
endeavored
to
breed
them
up
tame
,
and
did
so
;
but
when
they
grew
older
they
flew
all
away
,
which
,
perhaps
,
was
at
first
for
want
of
feeding
them
,
for
I
had
nothing
to
give
them
.
However
,
I
frequently
found
their
nests
,
and
got
their
young
ones
,
which
were
very
good
meat
.

And
now
in
the
managing
my
household
affairs
I
found
myself
wanting
in
many
things
,
which
I
thought
at
first
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
make
,
as
indeed
,
as
to
some
of
them
,
it
was
.
For
instance
,
I
could
never
make
a
cask
to
be
hooped
;
I
had
a
small
runlet
or
two
,
as
I
observed
before
,
but
I
could
never
arrive
to
the
capacity
of
making
one
of
them
,
though
I
spent
many
weeks
about
it
.
I
could
neither
put
in
the
heads
,
nor
joint
the
staves
so
true
to
one
another
as
to
make
them
hold
water
;
so
I
gave
that
also
over
.
285
In
the
next
place
,
I
was
at
a
great
loss
for
candle
;
so
that
as
soon
as
ever
it
was
dark
,
which
was
generally
by
seven
o'clock
o'clock
,
I
was
obliged
to
go
to
bed
.
I
remembered
the
lump
of
beeswax
with
which
I
made
candles
in
my
African
adventure
,
but
I
had
none
of
that
now
.
286
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
.
287
In
the
middle
of
all
my
labors
it
happened
that
rummaging
my
things
,
I
found
a
little
bag
,
which
,
as
I
hinted
before
,
had
been
filled
with
corn
for
the
feeding
of
poultry
,
not
for
this
voyage
,
but
before
,
as
I
suppose
,
when
the
ship
came
from
Lisbon
.
What
little
remainder
of
corn
had
been
in
the
bag
was
all
devoured
with
the
rats
,
and
I
saw
nothing
in
the
bag
but
husks
and
dust
;
and
being
willing
to
have
the
bag
for
some
other
use
,
I
think
it
was
to
put
powder
in
,
when
I
divided
it
for
fear
of
the
lightning
,
or
some
such
use
,
I
shook
the
husks
of
corn
out
of
it
on
one
side
of
my
fortification
,
under
the
rock
.
It
was
a
little
before
the
great
rains
,
just
now
mentioned
,
that
I
threw
this
stuff
away
,
taking
no
notice
of
anything
there
;
when
,
about
a
month
after
,
or
thereabout
,
I
saw
some
few
stalks
of
something
green
shooting
out
of
the
ground
,
which
I
fancied
might
be
some
plant
I
had
not
seen
;
but
I
was
surprised
,
and
perfectly
astonished
,
when
,
after
a
little
longer
time
,
I
saw
about
ten
or
twelve
ears
come
out
,
which
were
perfect
green
barley
of
the
same
kind
as
or
European
,
nay
,
as
our
English
barley
.

It
is
impossible
to
express
the
astonishment
and
confusion
of
my
thoughts
on
this
occasion
.
I
had
hitherto
acted
upon
no
religious
foundation
at
all
;
indeed
,
I
had
very
few
notions
of
religion
in
my
head
,
or
had
entertained
any
sense
of
anything
that
had
befallen
me
otherwise
than
as
a
chance
,
or
as
we
lightly
say
,
what
pleases
God
;
without
so
much
as
inquiring
into
the
end
of
Providence
in
these
things
,
or
His
order
in
governing
events
in
the
world
.
289
But
after
I
saw
barley
grow
there
in
a
climate
which
I
knew
was
not
proper
for
corn
,
and
especially
that
I
knew
not
how
it
came
there
,
it
startled
me
strangely
,
and
I
began
to
suggest
that
God
had
miraculously
caused
this
grain
to
grow
without
any
help
of
seed
sown
,
and
it
was
so
directed
purely
for
my
sustenance
on
that
wild
miserable
place
.
290
This
touched
my
heart
a
little
,
and
brought
tears
out
of
my
eyes
;
and
I
began
to
bless
myself
,
that
such
a
prodigy
of
Nature
should
happen
upon
my
account
,
and
this
was
the
more
strange
to
me
,
because
I
saw
near
it
still
,
all
along
by
the
side
of
the
rock
,
some
other
straggling
stalks
,
which
proved
to
be
stalks
of
rice
,
and
which
I
knew
,
because
I
had
seen
it
grow
in
Africa
,
when
I
was
ashore
there
.
