He could tell moreover that the cave he was now exploring was all in one piece a single-roomed house. Had there been any second or inner chamber he would have found the aperture that led to it; but there appeared to be none. To make sure of this, he now approached quite near to the entrance, and continued to guage the cavity with his stick.
"Ay; an' also a useful one," said the skipper, drily at least as duly as was possible in the circumstance. "Noo, shentlemen, I think we had petter be goin'." It was indeed time, for although the weather was warm and fine, the sun had set, and their damp garments began to feel uncomfortable. At the Cove the whole party was accommodated in a single-roomed hut, which chanced to be empty at the time.
He had built himself a wooden outhouse he always called it 'the cabin' a few hundred yards from his house, and it was here that he slept every night. It was a little, single-roomed hut, sixteen feet by ten. He kept the key in his pocket, made his own bed, cleaned it himself, and allowed no other foot to cross the threshold.
Considering it was a single-roomed place and used for cooking, washing, sleeping and everything else, it was wonderfully tidy, although, to say truth, there was little in it after all to occasion untidiness: a stove, a pot, a frying-pan, an enamelled tin teapot, some crockery, a table, an oil lamp, three chairs, the brass-bound trunk, two wheat-flake boxes and Jake's bed, with one other addition, a fifteen-gallon keg with a stopcock in it and set on a wooden stand close to his bunk.
A low line of red still burned behind the massive bulk of Big Unaka, and the solemn purple mountains raised their peaks against it in a jagged line. Within die single-roomed cabin the rich, broken light from the cavernous fireplace filled the smoke-browned interior full of shadow and shine in which things leaped oddly into life, or dropped out of knowledge with a startling effect.
Just beyond them yawned the black opening of their shaft-hole, the rude windlass outlined against the gray background of rock, while somewhat to the left, seemingly overhanging the edge of the cliff, perched a single-roomed cabin of logs representing home. This was the "Little Yankee" claim, owners William Hicks and "Stutter" Brown.

Then there will be nothing left to do, but guard prisoners." "Very well, Colonel; I am ready to serve wherever needed." "Of course you are, man. There should not be much danger connected with this trip, although there will be stragglers in plenty. I'm told that Clinton lost more than three hundred deserters crossing Camden." Headquarters were in a single-roomed cabin at the edge of a ravine.
The idea was excellent; the thing, therefore, no less. Therefore he concluded that he should not fail of his plan. Beyond the Porta Angeli, in Borso's day, was to be found a huddle of tenements fungus-growth upon the city wall single-storied, single-roomed affairs, mostly the lodging of artificers in the lesser crafts.
Over this featureless wilderness we progressed day after day, each stopping-place marked by a few aspen trees mixed up with a few others that look very much like mountain ash but are not. The winter houses of the people are single-roomed, square, wooden structures, very strangely built, with flat roofs consisting of about two feet of earth.
