I never travelled in this journey above two miles outright in a day, or thereabouts; but I took so many turns and re-turns to see what discoveries I could make, that I came weary enough to the place where I resolved to sit down all night; and then I either reposed myself in a tree, or surrounded myself with a row of stakes set upright in the ground, either from one tree to another, or so as no wild creature could come at me without waking me.
Nunca avanzaba más de dos millas en este viaje pero daba tantas vueltas en busca de hallazgos que llegaba agotado al sitio donde decidía pasar la noche. Entonces, subía a un árbol o me tendía en el suelo rodeado por un cerco de estacas, de manera que ninguna criatura salvaje pudiese acercarse a mí sin despertarme.
