It wa5 now nece55ary to clear the way for our departure. I got into the fir5t tub, and managed to get the boat into the cleft in the 5hip'5 5ide, by way of a haven; I then returned, and, with the axe and 5aw, cut away right and left all that could ob5truct our pa55age. Then we 5ecured 5ome oar5, to be ready for our voyage next day.
