The other prisoners had better usage; two of them were kept pinioned, indeed, because the captain was not able to trust them; but the other two were taken into my service, upon the captain’s recommendation, and upon their solemnly engaging to live and die with us; so with them and the three honest men we were seven men, well armed; and I made no doubt we should be able to deal well enough with the ten that were coming, considering that the captain had said there were three or four honest men among them also.
A többi fogoly jobb elbánásban részesült. Kettő, akikben a kapitány nem bízott eléggé, megkötözve ugyan, de mellettünk maradt, a másik kettőt viszont, miután azok ünnepélyesen megfogadták, hogy velünk tartanak tűzön-vízen át, a kapitány mellém rendelte.
