There were also, indeed, several thick watch-coats of the seamen’s which were left, but they were too hot to wear; and though it is true that the weather was so violently hot that there was no need of clothes, yet I could not go quite naked—no, though I had been inclined to it, which I was not—nor could I abide the thought of it, though I was alone.
Ereditai veramente ancora parecchie casacche di marinai, ma queste erano troppo pesanti a portarsi. E qui notate che se bene il caldo del clima sia si violento che non v’è bisogno di panni d’alcuna sorta, pure non potei andar nudo del tutto quand’anche tal fosse stata la mia inclinazione, che non era, perchè non ho mai saputo adattarmi nemmeno all’idea di ciò, benchè fossi affatto solo.
