While this was doing, I sent Friday with the captain’s mate to the boat with orders to secure her, and bring away the oars and sails, which they did; and by-and-by three straggling men, that were (happily for them) parted from the rest, came back upon hearing the guns fired; and seeing the captain, who was before their prisoner, now their conqueror, they submitted to be bound also; and so our victory was complete.
In questo stesso tempo i due uomini saltati in piedi prima dell’assalto e, che per loro buona fortuna si erano scostati in compagnia di un terzo dalla brigata, eccitati dal frastuono de’ moschetti tornavano addietro. All’accorgersi che il capitano prima loro prigioniere, era divenuto il loro conquistatore, si sottomisero eglino pure ad esser legati; onde fu compiuta la nostra vittoria.
