Then I took the pieces of cable which I had cut in the ship, and laid them in rows, one upon another, within the circle, between these two rows of stakes, up to the top, placing other stakes in the inside, leaning against them, about two feet and a half high, like a spur to a post; and this fence was so strong, that neither man nor beast could get into it or over it.
Entonces tomé los trozos de cable que había cortado en el barco y los coloqué, uno sobre otro, dentro del círculo, entre las dos filas de estacas hasta llegar a la punta. Sobre estos, apoyé otros palos, de casi dos pies y medio de altura, a modo de soporte.
