24. One day in June I found myself very ill. I had a cold fit and then
a hot one, with faint sweats after it. My body ached all over,
and I had violent pains in my head. The next day I felt much better,
but had dreadful fears of sickness, since I remembered that I was alone,
and had no medicines, and not even any food or drink in the house.
The following day I had a terrible headache with my chills and fever;
but the day after that I was better again, and went out with my gun and
shot a she-goat; yet I found myself very weak. After some days,
in which I learned to pray to God for the first time after eight years
of wicked seafaring life, I made a sort of medicine _by_ steeping
tobacco leaf in rum. I took a large dose of this several times a day.
In the course of a week or two I got well; but for some time after I was
very pale, and my muscles were weak and flabby.
