In this frame of thankfulness I went home to my castle, and began to be much easier now, as to the safety of my circumstances, than ever I was before: for I observed that these wretches never came to this island in search of what they could get; perhaps not seeking, not wanting, or not expecting anything here; and having often, no doubt, been up the covered, woody part of it without finding anything to their purpose.
In deze dankbare stemming ging ik naar mijn kasteel terug, veel geruster omtrent mijne veiligheid dan ik sedert lang geweest was, want ik zag in, dat deze schepsels nimmer op het eiland kwamen om te zoeken wat daar te halen was; misschien dewijl zij er niets zochten of gevonden hadden wat hun aanstond.
