And having cut me a short stick, like a truncheon, for my defence, I took up my lodging; and having been excessively fatigued, I fell fast asleep, and slept as comfortably as, I believe, few could have done in my condition, and found myself more refreshed with it than, I think, I ever was on such an occasion.
Corté un palo corto, a modo de porra, para defenderme, me subí a mi alojamiento y, de puro agotamiento, me quedé dormido. Esa noche dormí tan cómodamente como, según creo, pocos hubieran podido hacerlo en semejantes condiciones y logré descansar como nunca en mi vida.
