A hammock is slung to the rough raftered roof of the main room, as an extra bed.

A man, completely hidden by his bedclothes, is sleeping in the hammock.

By the fireside there is a second man--supposed to be on the watch--fast asleep, poor wretch! at the present moment.

Behind the sleeper stands an old cask, which serves for a table.

The objects at present on the table are, a pestle and mortar, and a saucepanful of the dry bones of animals--in plain words, the dinner for the day.
