We parted from the Isle of Juan Fernandez after two days, which we stayed to fill our water, cut firewood, and drive goats.
My confined state was very irksome to me, after the freedom I had enjoyed on board and the daily fare of new and strange experiences. However, I employed the time pleasantly enough in learning the Spanish language, as much as I could of it, by means of an old torn copy of _Don Quixote_ and a Spanish dictionary, which I chanced to find in a corner; and, indeed, got much diversion from that merry and sorrowful tale.
