But here I had like to have suffered a second shipwreck, which, if I had, I think verily would have broken my heart; for, knowing nothing of the coast, my raft ran aground at one end of it upon a shoal, and not being aground at the other end, it wanted but a little that all my cargo had slipped off towards the end that was afloat, and to fallen into the water.
A másik rögtön mélyre süllyedt, és minden ingóságom errefelé kezdett csúszni, kis híján a vízbe hullva. Hátamat nekifeszítettem a ládáknak, de csak nagy fáradsággal bírtam a tutajon tartani azokat.
