It is by the sketches which Mr. Joslen, of Maidstone, a first-class passenger in the Strathmore...that we are enabled to show so many features of that adventurous experience...men knocking down penguins, or other sea-fowl, which they killed for food; the fetching of water in sealskin bags, or tin cans, or even in boots, from the spring; the cooking performed by Mrs. Wordsworth, the one woman of this shipwrecked company; and one of the hovels, built of stones or turf with a curtain at the doorway, in which some of them lived'.
