十月二十日木排翻倒，上面的货物也都翻到水里去了，但木排翻倒的地方水很浅，那些东西又都很重，所以没有被冲走。一等退潮，我还是捞回了不少东西。[qh]
Oct. 25. It rained all Night and all Day, with some Gusts of Wind,[qh]

傍晚，我终于在一个山岩下找到了合适的地方。我划了一个半圆形作为构筑住所的地点，[qh]
which I resolved to strengthen with a Work, Wall, or Fortification made of double Piles, lined within with Cables, and without with Turf.[qh]
并决定沿着那个半圆形安上两层木桩，中间盘上缆索，外面再加上草皮，筑成一个坚固的防御工事，像围墙或堡垒之类的建筑物。[qh]
From the 26th. to the 30th. I worked very hard in carrying all my Goods to my new Habitation,[qh]

我打死了一只母山羊，她的一只小羊跟着我回家，后来我把它也杀了，因为它不肯吃食。[qh]
