As soon as they got to the place where their other boat lay, they ran their boat into the beach and came all on shore, hauling the boat up after them, which I was glad to see, for I was afraid they would rather have left the boat at an anchor some distance from the shore, with some hands in her to guard her, and so we should not be able to seize the boat.
Appena giunti laddove era approdata l’altra scialuppa, i nuovi arrivati presero terra tirandosi dietro a rimorchio la propria, il che vidi con molto piacere; perchè aveva avuto grande timore che la mettessero piuttosto all’âncora in qualche distanza dal lido, lasciandovi entro alcuni uomini che la guardassero, togliendoci così il modo d’impadronircene.
