This was very reviving news to me, after so many hardships and afflictions as I had gone through of late. I thanked him, and told him the captain should make his own terms with us, and asked him leave to go and tell my husband of it, who was not very well, and was not yet out of his cabin.
Ce fut là une nouvelle bien revivifiante pour moi après tant de dures épreuves et d'afflictions; je le remerciai et lui dis que le capitaine nous ferait les conditions qu'il voudrait et lui demandai l'autorisation d'aller prévenir mon mari qui ne se trouvait pas fort bien et n'était point encore sorti de sa cabine.
