'Exterior of Hut; Knocking over Penguins; Bringing Water from the Spring; Interior of emigrant-ship Strathmore [was wrecked], in July last, on the remote and desolate Crozet Islands, in the southern part of the Indian there seven months. It is by the sketches which Mr. Joslen, of Maidstone, a first-class passenger in the we are enabled to show so many features of that adventurous 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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
