It blew very hard all night, and in the morning, when I looked out, behold, no more ship was to be seen! I was a little surprised, but recovered myself with the satisfactory reflection that I had lost no time, nor abated any diligence, to get everything out of her that could be useful to me; and that, indeed, there was little left in her that I was able to bring away, if I had had more time.
Il turbine infuriò tutta la notte, e la mattina guardando attorno vidi sparita ogni traccia del vascello; novità che mi sorprese alcun poco, ma mi condusse ad un tempo ad una soddisfacente considerazione; quella cioè di non aver perduto tempo od omessa veruna sorte di diligenza per trarre al lido quante cose del vascello stesso potevano giovarmi, onde ben poche altre mi sarebbe rimasto a raccorne, se ne avessi avuto il tempo.
