He then gave our boat the name of the _Deliverance_, and requested it might henceforward be called the little vessel.

To complete its equipment, I contrived a rudder, so that I could direct the boat from either end.
After signalling to our friends that we should not return that night, we spent the rest of the day in emptying the tubs of the stones we had used for ballast, and replacing them with useful things.

Powder and shot, nails and tools of all kinds, pieces of cloth; above all, we did not forget knives, forks, spoons, and kitchen utensils, including a roasting-jack.

In the captain's cabin we found some services of silver, pewter plates and dishes, and a small chest filled with bottles of choice wines.

All these we took, as well as a chest of eatables, intended for the officers' table, portable soup, Westphalian hams, Bologna sausages, &c.; also some bags of maize, wheat, and other seeds, and some potatoes.
