I told them the story also of the seventeen Spaniards that were to be expected, for whom I left a letter, and made them promise to treat them in common with themselves. Here it may be noted that the captain, who had ink on board, was greatly surprised that I never hit upon a way of making ink of charcoal and water, or of something else, as I had done things much more difficult.
Ook verhaalde ik hun van de zestien Spanjaarden, die verwacht werden, voor welke ik een brief achterliet, en die ik hen deed beloven, als hunne makkers te zullen behandelen.
