I was extremely tired , and with that , and the heat of the weather , and about half a pint of brandy that I drankdrankas I leftleavethe ship , I found myself much inclined to sleep .
They foundfindby my eatingeatthat a small quantity would not suffice me ; and being a most ingenious people , they slungslingup , with great dexterity , one of their largest hogsheads , then rolledrollit towards my hand , and beatbeatout the top ; I drankdrankit off at a draught , which I might well do , for it did not hold half a pint , and tasted like a small wine of Burgundy , but much more delicious .
They broughtbringme a second hogshead , which I drankdrankin the same manner , and made signssignfor more ; but they had none to give me .
