We had, consequently, neither beds nor candles ; and that which was the most distressing was, that we had nothing more to eat, for we had taken with us upon the 12 90 LETTERS AND JOUBXALS boat, only enough to last us (as we supposed) during tlie day. Besides, we found upon this island nothing but the four bare walls of a deserted and unfinished house, which was filled with bushes that served as a couch for the night. I covered them with our cloaks, making use, also, of the cushions of the boats... ; and in this way we had a right good sleep. I could not induce Captain Willoe to come into the hut. I saw that he was very much troubled about something, but could not at all make out the cause of it. Meanwhile, I observed a soldier set a pot upon the fire. I asked him what he had in it? " Potatoes, which I have brought with me," he replied. I looked wistfully at them, but he had so few, that I thought it cruel to rob him of them, especially as he seemed so happy in their possession. Finally, however, my intense desire to give some to my children triumphed over my modesty, and I there- fore begged, and obtained half, which, at the most, might have been a dozen.
