The length of their Tent was twenty foot, and the breadth sixteen; their Chimney was the breadth of a deal board, and four foot high; they ceiled it with boards five or six times double, that no wind could possible get through: The door they made as close as they could, and lined it with a bed that they found there, which came over both the opening and shutting of it: they made no Windows, having no light but what came through the Chimney: then set they up four Cabins, quartering themselves two and two in a Cabin; their Beds were the Deerskins dried, which was a warm and comfortable lodging for them in their distress: their next care was for firing, and finding seven old Shallops which were unserviceable, they brake them up, and stowed them over the beams in the great Tent to make it the warmer, and to keep the Snow from driving through the Tiles into ⟨p. 64⟩the Tent: and by this time the cold increasing, and scarce having any day at all, they staved some empty Cask, and brake two old coolers (wherein they cooled their Oil) providing whatsoever firing they could without prejudice to the next years Voyage: yet considering the small quantity of fuel, the extremity of cold, and the long time of their abode, they husbanded it as thriftily as possibly they could.
