I had, indeed, got two pair of shoes now, which I took off the feet of two drowned men whom I saw in the wreck, and I found two pair more in one of the chests, which were very welcome to me; but they were not like our English shoes, either for ease or service, being rather what we call pumps than shoes.
Ik had nu, wel is waar, twee paar schoenen, die ik den twee verdronken mannen, die ik op het wrak vond, van de beenen had genomen; maar zij waren noch zoo stevig, noch zoo gemakkelijk als onze Engelsche schoenen, maar geleken meer naar dansschoenen.
