So, after some days, I took Friday to work again by way of discourse, and told him I would give him a boat to go back to his own nation; and, accordingly, I carried him to my frigate, which lay on the other side of the island, and having cleared it of water (for I always kept it sunk in water), I brought it out, showed it him, and we both went into it.
Dopo alcuni giorni pertanto presi nuovamente ad investigare Venerdì in via di discorso col dirgli che voleva fornirlo d’una barca per tornarsene co’ suoi compatriotti. E però lo condussi all’altra estremità dell’isola, ove stava sott’acqua quella mia così della fregata, e fattala venire a galla, gliela mostrai, e vi entrai dentro in sua compagnia.
