In the first place, it occurred to me to consider what business an English ship could have in that part of the world, since it was not the way to or from any part of the world where the English had any traffic; and I knew there had been no storms to drive them in there in distress; and that if they were really English it was most probable that they were here upon no good design; and that I had better continue as I was than fall into the hands of thieves and murderers.
Nem tudtam, hogy honnan jöhet ez a hajó és mi dolga itt, mert ez nem olyan tájéka volt a világnak, ahol bármi oka lenne egy angol hajónak előfordulnia. Kereskedelmet nem folytatnak itt, vihar sem volt mostanság a közelben, ami miatt menedéket keresnének.
