I am now to be supposed retired into my castle, after my late voyage to the wreck, my frigate laid up and secured under water, as usual, and my condition restored to what it was before: I had more wealth, indeed, than I had before, but was not at all the richer; for I had no more use for it than the Indians of Peru had before the Spaniards came there.
Mint mondtam, a spanyol hajóroncsnál tett látogatásom után visszatértem megszokott életemhez, és bár mostanra minden eddiginél nagyobb vagyonom volt, mégsem vettem több hasznát, mint a perui indiánok a spanyolok érkezése előtt.
