I had also several tame sea-fowls, whose name I knew not, that I caught upon the shore, and cut their wings; and the little stakes which I had planted before my castle-wall being now grown up to a good thick grove, these fowls all lived among these low trees, and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that, as I said above, I began to be very well contented with the life I led, if I could have been secured from the dread of the savages.
Ik had ook verscheidene tamme zeevogels, wier naam ik niet kende, die ik op het strand gevangen en gekortwiekt had. De stekken, die ik om mijn muur geplant had, waren nu tot een digt bosch gegroeid, en daarin leefden en nestelden zij, hetgeen mij zeer aangenaam was.
