After Louis Cornbutte's departure, Penellan had carefully shut the / cabin door, which opened at the foot of the deck steps. He returned to / the stove, which he took it upon himself to watch, whilst his / companions regained their berths in search of a little warmth.
It was then six in the evening, and Penellan set about preparing / supper. He went down into the steward's room for some salt meat, which / he wished to soak in the boiling water. When he returned, he found / André Vasling in his place, cooking some pieces of grease in a basin.
