He's the last man who spoke to the master. . . Somebody ran along the crew were being taken to the Mission Hall, where there was a fire and shake-downs ready for them somebody ran along the pier and caught up with Stafford. . . Here!
There was a very inhospitable looking bed, two shake-downs, and four Windsor chairs in more or less state of dilapidation all occupied likewise. A country glass lamp was balanced on a rough shelf, and under it a young man sat absorbed in making notes, and apparently oblivious to the noise around him. Every gentleman in the room was collarless, coatless, tieless, and vestless.
Our beds were just shake-downs on cushions and settees, though the officer on watch very generously gave up his bunk to two of us. I think we got very little sleep that night. It was just heavenly to lie and listen to the throb of the engines, instead of to the crack of the breaking floe, the beat of the surf on the ice-strewn shore, or the howling of the blizzard.
And yet so great was Todd's care over the outside fittings of the house details which were necessarily in evidence, and which determined at a glance the quality of the folks inside that these several crumblings, shake-downs, and shrinkages were seldom noticed by the passer-by.

After this we went about putting the camp in order; building a shelter tent by the spring for Sylvia and an adjacent lean-to for Echochee. Joyfully I robbed myself of bedding, arranged comfortable shake-downs with moss and leaves of the cabbage palm, and did everything conceivable to make the place attractive.
