And so at length, thanks be to God, I obtained, though with much ado, to get two measures of rice per day for myself, and one for my boy ; also cocoa-nuts, pumpkins, herbs, limes, and such-like, enough, besides pepper and salt ; and sometimes hens, eggs, or flesh : rice being the main thing they stand upon, for other things they refuse not to give what they have.
OF CAPTAIN KXOX. 49^ Now having settled all business about my allowance, my next concern was to look after a house more convenient; f...or my present one was too small to dress my victuals in, and to sleep in too. There- abouts was a garden of cocoa-nut trees, belonging unto the King, a pleasant situa- tion : this place I made choice of to build me a house in. And discovering my desire to the people, they consented, and came and built it for me : but before it was finished, their occasions called them away; but my boy and I made an end of it, and whitened the walls with lime, according to my own country fashion. But in doing this I committed a capital offence : for none may white their houses with lime, that being peculiar to royal houses and temples ; but, being a stranger, nothing was made of it, because I did it in ignorance ; had it been a native that had so done, it is most probable it would have cost him his head, or at the least a great fine.
