sea stores

We had not exhausted our bountiful provision of sea-stores when we were set ashore in England.

At other times we range through our sea stores, eating anything we like, cooked anyhow we like.

Daily we sorted our sea-stores, added new supplies, and ate what clearly could be kept no longer.

The sea stores up warmth when it absorbs the rays of the sun; it gives off warmth again when the cold season comes.

Some of the meat we ate fresh, but the larger quantity was salted down for sea stores.
