I lay here, however, two days, because the wind blowing pretty fresh at ESE., and that being just contrary to the current, made a great breach of the sea upon the point: so that it was not safe for me to keep too close to the shore for the breach, nor to go too far off, because of the stream.
Je séjournai cependant deux jours sur cette colline, parce que le vent, qui soufflait assez fort Est-Sud-Est, contrariait le courant et formait de violents brisants contre le cap. Il n'était donc sûr pour moi ni de côtoyer le rivage à cause du ressac, ni de gagner le large à cause du courant.
