The Sun being set, which is the Time they enter upon the Watch, every two Men began to fix their _Pohalick_, over against the Door of the _Moorzack_ they were to watch; but to understand this Matter, it will be necessary to explain what a _Pohalick_ is,--A _Pohalick_ is a Kind of a Tent, contrived to shelter them from the Inclemencies of the Weather, for the Nights are sometimes very cold there, especially if it rains; wherefore, they take four Poles of about eight Foot long, which, instead of fixing in the Ground, are plac'd in four Stone-Sockets, placed on Purpose, opposite to each _Moorzack_, for that Use, with Cross-Poles reaching from one to the other; but instead of Canvass they hang over it a Covering of Palmatu Leaves sewen together; the two oldest Standers have their Post opposite to the King's _Moorzack_, the Rest are posted according to their Seniority, for they are exact Observers of the Rules of Precedence; the youngest also in each Pohalick, fetches Wood for Fire, which is also absolutely necessary, as well to keep off the Musketoos which would be, otherwise, very troublesome, as to correct the Damps. As soon as the Sun rises, he also takes down the Pohalick, sweeps up the Ashes very clean, which remain of the Fire, and carries them away, that the Place may appear perfectly neat. It is his Duty also to go to the _Bankoos_ (so they call the Steward of the _Moorzacks_) for the Provision of the Day, which he is afterwards to dress both for himself and his Comrade. This Part of the Duty was not disagreeable to the Molotto, for having no Books to read, he would have grown melancholly for Want of something to divert his Time, had he been entirely idle; their Allowance of Provision was sufficient, and very good in its Kind. On _Sundays_ and _Tuesdays_ it was Flesh, either Beef, Mutton, or Goat, and Rice for Bread. On _Wednesdays_, Kaja (we have already told what that is) _Mondays_ and _Fridays_, Fish and Plantanes. _Thursdays_ and _Saturdays_ Plantanes, Rice, and Oil. Their Fish was excellent in its Kind, but they usually dress'd it without taking out the Guts, and which they eat with it instead of Sauce, but the Molotto corrected this Part of their Cookery, and having gutted the Fish before he broiled it, he found his Comrades very well pleas'd, and they always managed it so after.
