When I had done this, I began to work my way into the rock, and bringing all the earth and stones that I dug down out through my tent, I laid them up within my fence, in the nature of a terrace, so that it raised the ground within about a foot and a half; and thus I made me a cave, just behind my tent, which served me like a cellar to my house.
Hecho esto, comencé a excavar la roca y a transportar, a través de la tienda, la tierra y las piedras que extraía. Las fui apilando junto a la verja, por la parte de adentro, hasta formar una especie de terraza, que se levantaba como un pie y medio del suelo.
