Our next work was to repair the boat, and think of seizing the ship: and as for the captain, now he had leisure to parley with them, he expostulated with them upon the villainy of their practices with him, and upon the further wickedness of their design, and how certainly it must bring them to misery and distress in the end, and perhaps to the gallows.
Quant au capitaine, il eut alors le loisir de pourparler avec ses prisonniers. Il leur reprocha l'infamie de leurs procédés à son égard, et l'atrocité de leur projet, qui, assurément, les aurait conduits enfin à la misère et à l'opprobre, et peut-être à la potence.
