He talked to them of the injury done him, of the condition they were brought to, and that though the governor had given them quarter for their lives as to the present action, yet that if they were sent to England they would all be hanged in chains; but that if they would join in so just an attempt as to recover the ship, he would have the governor’s engagement for their pardon.
Il leur parla de l'outrage qu'ils lui avaient fait, de la condition dans laquelle ils étaient tombés, et leur dit que, bien que le gouverneur leur eût donné quartier actuellement, ils seraient à coup sûr mis au gibet si on les envoyait en Angleterre; mais que s'ils voulaient s'associer à une entreprise aussi loyale que celle de recouvrer le vaisseau, il aurait du gouverneur la promesse de leur grâce.
