Our next work was to repair the boat, and think of seizing the ship: and as for the captain, now he had leisure to parley with them, he expostulated with them upon the villainy of their practices with him, and upon the further wickedness of their design, and how certainly it must bring them to misery and distress in the end, and perhaps to the gallows.
I nostri pensieri or dovevano volgersi al rassettamento della scialuppa sguarnita ed alla ricuperazione del vascello. Il capitano intanto ebbe tempo di parlare a costoro, di rinfacciare ad essi la ribalderia e l’infamia del loro divisamento che, senza dubbio, gli avrebbe in fin del conto condotti d’abisso in abisso, di miseria in miseria, e probabilmente al patibolo.
