Yet such was the fright I had taken of the Moors, and the dreadful apprehensions I had of falling into their hands, that I would not stop, or go on shore, or come to an anchor; the wind continuing fair till I had sailed in that manner five days; and then the wind shifting to the southward, I concluded also that if any of our vessels were in chase of me, they also would now give over; so I ventured to make to the coast, and came to an anchor in the mouth of a little river, I knew not what, nor where, neither what latitude, what country, what nation, or what river.
De angst en vrees van weder in de handen der Mooren te vallen, weerhield mij aan land te gaan of te ankeren, ik bleef vijf dagen lang met denzelfden wind voortzeilen; daar toen de wind zuidelijk liep, besloot ik, dat, zoo men mij nagejaagd had, de Mooren nu ook de jagt moesten opgeven. Dus ankerde ik in den mond van een riviertje, ik weet niet op wat hoogte, noch in welk land of bij wat volk.
