But my thoughts were a little suspended when I had a serious discourse with the Spaniard, and when I understood that there were sixteen more of his countrymen and Portuguese, who having been cast away and made their escape to that side, lived there at peace, indeed, with the savages, but were very sore put to it for necessaries, and, indeed, for life.
Echter schorste ik mijn voornemen eenigen tijd op, na een ernstig gesprek met den Spanjaard, en toen ik vernam, dat er nog zestien zijner landslieden en Portugezen, in den storm daar het leven gered hadden, en daar wel in vrede met de wilden leefden, maar niets meer ontvingen dan hoog noodig was om niet van honger te sterven.
