In a word, I gave them every part of my own story; and told them I should prevail with the captain to leave them two barrels of gunpowder more, and some garden-seeds, which I told them I would have been very glad of. Also, I gave them the bag of peas which the captain had brought me to eat, and bade them be sure to sow and increase them.
Promisi i miei buoni ufizi presso del capitano, affinchè lasciasse loro altri due barili di polvere e alcuni legumi, dalla semina e coltivazione de’ quali avrebbero tratto grande profitto; anzi, per parte mia, li regalai di quel sacco portatomi dal capitano perchè me ne cibassi, consigliandoli, in vece di mangiarli, a commetterli al terreno tanto d’avviarsene una entrata.
