I also improved my wicker ware, making me abundance of necessary baskets, which though not very handsome, were very handy and convenient to fetch things home in, as also for holding my stores, barley, rice, and other provisions. My powder beginning to fail, made me examine after what manner I should kill the goats or birds to live on after it was all gone.
