But when we got them to the outside of our wall, or fortification, we were at a worse loss than before, for it was impossible to get them over, and I was resolved not to break it down; so I set to work again, and Friday and I, in about two hours’ time, made a very handsome tent, covered with old sails, and above that with boughs of trees, being in the space without our outward fence and between that and the grove of young wood which I had planted; and here we made them two beds of such things as I had—viz. of good rice-straw, with blankets laid upon it to lie on, and another to cover them, on each bed.
Así lo hicimos pero cuando llegamos hasta la parte exterior de nuestra muralla o fortificación, nos hallamos ante una situación más complicada que la anterior, pues era imposible pasarlos por encima y yo no estaba dispuesto a derribarla. Viernes y yo nos pusimos nuevamente a trabajar y, en casi dos horas, construimos una hermosa tienda, cubierta con velas viejas y recubierta con ramas de árboles, en la parte exterior de la muralla, entre esta y el bosquecillo que había plantado.
