for calking the seams they made oakum of dry seaweed, which was hammered in between the planks; then these seams were covered with boiling tar, which was obtained in great abundance from the pines in the forest.

Spanish

para calafatear las costuras se hizo estopa con cierta hierba marina seca, que fue introducida a golpes de mazo entre los tablones del casco, de los forros del puente; después se cubrieron aquellas costuras con brea hirviendo, suministrada abundantemente por los pinos del bosque.

English

i remembered the lump of beeswax with which i made candles in my african adventure; but i had none of that now; the only remedy i had was, that when i had killed a goat i saved the tallow, and with a little dish made of clay, which i baked in the sun, to which i added a wick of some oakum, i made me a lamp; and this gave me light, though not a clear, steady light, like a candle.

Spanish

recordaba aquel trozo de cera con el que había hecho unas velas en mi aventura africana pero ahora no tenía nada. lo único que podía hacer cuando mataba alguna cabra, era conservar el sebo y en un pequeño plato de arcilla que cocí al sol, poner una mecha de estopa y hacerme una lámpara; esta me proporcionaba luz pero no tan clara y constante como la de las velas.
