My library consisted of only five books--a copy of the Bible, and a four-volume medical work in English by Bell, which I had purchased at Singapore.

I made quite a study of the contents of this work, and acquired much valuable information, which I was able to put to good use in after years, more particularly during my sojourn amongst the Blacks.

Bruno generally sat by my side on deck when I was alone,--in fact he was nearly always with me.

He took to me more than to Jensen from the first.

Jensen rarely tried to bully me, though of course I was now very much in his power, as he emphatically illustrated one day.
