With my boat I carried away everything that I had left there belonging to her, though not necessary for the bare going thither—viz. a mast and sail which I had made for her, and a thing like an anchor, but which, indeed, could not be called either anchor or grapnel; however, it was the best I could make of its kind: all these I removed, that there might not be the least shadow for discovery, or appearance of any boat, or of any human habitation upon the island.
Volt ott a meredek sziklapartnak egy jól védett kis öble, ahova kenu az áramlatok miatt el nem juthatott. A csónakból magamhoz vettem mindazt, ami hozzá tarozott és árulkodó jel lehetett volna, így az árbocot, a vitorlát és a horgonyt, vagy helyesebben a vasat, amit horgonyként használtam.
