Chapter 52
After a thorough investigation1, I made a complete list:
- 192 tablets of anti-seasickness medicine
- 124 tin cans of fresh water, each containing 500 millilitres, so 62 litres in all
- 32 plastic vomit2 bags
- 31 cartons of emergency rations3, 500 grams each, so 15.5 kilos in all
- 16 wool blankets
- 12 solar stills
- 10 or so orange life jackets, each with an orange, beadless whistle attached by a string
- 6 morphine ampoule syringes
- 6 hand flares4
- 5 buoyant oars5
- 4 rocket parachute flares
- 3 tough, transparent6 plastic bags, each with a capacity of about 50 litres
- 3 can openers
- 3 graduated glass beakers for drinking
- 2 boxes of waterproof7 matches
- 2 buoyant orange smoke signals
- 2 mid-size orange plastic buckets
- 2 buoyant orange plastic bailing8 cups
- 2 multi-purpose plastic containers with airtight lids

- 1 solid lifebuoy with an inner diameter of 40 centimetres and an outer diameter of 80 centimetres, and an attached rope
- 1 large hunting knife with a solid handle, a pointed14 end and one edge a sharp blade and the other a sawtoothed blade; attached by a long string to a ring in the locker15
- 1 sewing kit10 with straight and curving needles and strong white thread

I ate a quarter of the large chocolate bar. I examined one of the rain catchers. It was a device that looked like an inverted18 umbrella with a good-sized catchment pouch19 and a connecting rubber tube.
I crossed my arms on the lifebuoy around my waist, brought my head down and fell soundly asleep.

第五十二章
    在做了全面调查之后，我列了一个详细的清单：

    ●124锡罐淡水，每罐500毫升，共62升
    ●32只呕吐用塑料袋
    ●31盒紧急情况下食用的口粮，每盒500克，因此一共15.5千克

    ●一张尼龙货网
    ●一只结实的救生圈，内径40厘米，外径80厘米，上面拴着绳子
    ●一把大猎刀，刀把结实，刀尖尖锐，一边是锋利的刀刃，一边是锯齿状刀刃；一根长长的线把刀拴在锁柜的一只环上。
    ●一个针线盒，里面有直的和弯的针和很牢的白线
    ●一套装在防水塑料箱里的急救用品

    我吃了四分之一块的大块黑巧克力。我检查了一只接雨器。那是一种像倒置的雨伞的装置，有一个相当大的贮水袋，袋子上连着一根橡皮管子。
    我把胳膊交叉放在套在腰间的救生圈上，低下头，沉沉地睡了。
