But Friday, a lusty, strong fellow, took the Spaniard upon his back, and carried him away to the boat, and set him down softly upon the side or gunnel of the canoe, with his feet in the inside of it; and then lifting him quite in, he set him close to his father; and presently stepping out again, launched the boat off, and paddled it along the shore faster than I could walk, though the wind blew pretty hard too; so he brought them both safe into our creek, and leaving them in the boat, ran away to fetch the other canoe.
Il revint donc aussitôt, et je priai alors l'Espagnol de permettre que Vendredi l'aidât à se lever et le conduisît jusqu'au bateau, pour le mener à notre demeure, où je prendrais soin de lui. Mais Vendredi, qui était un jeune et robuste compagnon, le chargea sur ses épaules, le porta au canot et l'assit doucement sur un des côtés, les pieds tournés dans l'intérieur; puis, le soulevant encore, le plaça tout auprès de son père.
