I found in her three-score eggs; and her flesh was to me, at that time, the most savoury and pleasant that ever I tasted in my life, having had no flesh, but of goats and fowls, since I landed in this horrid place.
_June_ 18 .-- Rained all day, and I stayed within.

I thought at this time the rain felt cold, and I was something chilly; which I knew was not usual in that latitude.
_June_ 19 .-- Very ill, and shivering, as if the weather had been cold.
_June_ 20 .-- No rest all night; violent pains in my head, and feverish.
_June_ 21 .-- Very ill; frighted almost to death with the apprehensions of my sad condition--to be sick, and no help.

Prayed to God, for the first time since the storm off Hull, but scarce knew what I said, or why, my thoughts being all confused.
_June_ 22 .-- A little better; but under dreadful apprehensions of sickness.
_June_ 23 .-- Very bad again; cold and shivering, and then a violent headache.
_June_ 24 .-- Much better.
_June_ 25 .-- An ague very violent; the fit held me seven hours; cold fit and hot, with faint sweats after it.
_June_ 26 .-- Better; and having no victuals to eat, took my gun, but found myself very weak.

However, I killed a she-goat, and with much difficulty got it home, and broiled some of it, and ate, I would fain have stewed it, and made some broth, but had no pot.
_June_ 27 .-- The ague again so violent that I lay a-bed all day, and neither ate nor drank.

I was ready to perish for thirst; but so weak, I had not strength to stand up, or to get myself any water to drink.
Prayed to God again, but was light-headed; and when I was not, I was so ignorant that I knew not what to say; only I lay and cried, "Lord, look upon me! Lord, pity me! Lord, have mercy upon me!" I suppose I did nothing else for two or three hours; till, the fit wearing off, I fell asleep, and did not wake till far in the night.
