I ordered Friday and the captain’s mate to go over the little creek westward, towards the place where the savages came on shore, when Friday was rescued, and so soon as they came to a little rising round, at about half a mile distant, I bid them halloo out, as loud as they could, and wait till they found the seamen heard them; that as soon as ever they heard the seamen answer them, they should return it again; and then, keeping out of sight, take a round, always answering when the others hallooed, to draw them as far into the island and among the woods as possible, and then wheel about again to me by such ways as I directed them.
Diedi le mie istruzioni a Venerdì e all’aiutante del capitano di andar verso la piccola calanca di ponente, presso al luogo ove i selvaggi sbarcarono quando Venerdì fu riscattato da morte; troverebbero una picciola altura distante un mezzo miglio circa di lì. — «Salitela, dissi loro, e di là mettetevi a gridare con quanta voce avete e tanto che i malandrini possano udirvi. Appena costoro vi risponderanno, voi ripetete le vostre grida.
