When we were ready to set out, Fritz presented each of us with a little case he had made from the skin of the margay.

They were ingeniously contrived to contain knife, fork, and spoon, and a small hatchet.

We then harnessed the ass and the cow to the sledge, took a flexible bamboo cane for a whip, and, followed by Flora, we departed, leaving Turk to guard the tree.
We went by the shore, as the better road for the sledge, and crossing Family Bridge, were soon at Tent House.

After unharnessing the animals, we began to load.

We took the cask of butter, the cheese, and the biscuit; all the rest of our utensils, powder, shot, and Turk's armour, which we had left there.
