hankering stomach
after some of the flesh, and was still a cannibal in his nature; but I
showed so much abhorrence at the very thoughts of it, and at the least
appearance of it, that he durst not discover it: for I had, by some
means, let him know that I would kill him if he offered it.

When he had done this, we came back to our castle; and there I fell to
work for my man Friday; and first of all, I gave him a pair of linen
drawers, which I had out of the poor gunner's chest I mentioned, which I
found in the wreck, and which, with a little alteration, fitted him very
well; and then I made him a jerkin of goat's skin, as well as my skill
would allow (for I was now grown a tolerably good tailor); and I gave him
a cap which I made of hare's skin, very convenient, and fashionable
enough; and thus he was clothed, for the present, tolerably well, and was
mighty well pleased to see himself almost as well clothed as his master.
It is true he went awkwardly in these clothes at first: wearing the
drawers was very awkward to him, and the sleeves of the waistcoat galled
his shoulders and the inside of his arms; but a little easing them where
he complained they hurt him, and using himself to them, he took to them
at length very well.

The next day, after I came home to my hutch with him, I began to consider
where I should lodge him: and that I might do well for him and yet be
perfectly easy myself, I made a little tent for him in the vacant place
between my two fortifications, in the inside of the last, and in the
outside of the first. As there was a door or entrance there into my
cave, I made a formal framed door-case, and a door to it, of boards, and
set it up in the passage, a little within the entrance; and, causing the
door to open in the inside, I barred it up in the night, taking in my
ladders, too; so that Friday could no way come at me in the inside of my
innermost wall, without making so much noise in getting over that it must
needs awaken me; for my first wall had now a complete roof over it of
long poles, covering all my tent, and leaning up to the side of the hill;
which was again laid across with smaller sticks, instead of laths, and
then thatched over a great thickness with the rice-straw, which was
strong, like reeds; and at the hole or place which was left to go in or
out by the ladder I had placed a kind of trap-door, which, if it had been
attempted on the outside, would not have opened at all, but would have
