I had not kept myself long in this posture till I saw the boat draw near the shore, as if they looked for a creek to thrust in at, for the convenience of landing; however, as they did not come quite far enough, they did not see the little inlet where I formerly landed my rafts, but ran their boat on shore upon the beach, at about half a mile from me, which was very happy for me; for otherwise they would have landed just at my door, as I may say, and would soon have beaten me out of my castle, and perhaps have plundered me of all I had.
Alig egy kilométerre az otthonomtól kötöttek ki a parton. Örültem neki, hogy nem jöttek közelebb, mert a végén még a házam küszöbénél állapodtak volna meg, és a végén még elhagyni kényszerülök miattuk ingó és ingatlan dolgaimat.
