I asked him all the particulars of their voyage, and found they were a Spanish ship, bound from the Rio de la Plata to the Havanna, being directed to leave their loading there, which was chiefly hides and silver, and to bring back what European goods they could meet with there; that they had five Portuguese seamen on board, whom they took out of another wreck; that five of their own men were drowned when first the ship was lost, and that these escaped through infinite dangers and hazards, and arrived, almost starved, on the cannibal coast, where they expected to have been devoured every moment.
Kifaggattam őt az útjuk részleteiről, és a következőket tudtam meg: egy spanyol hajó indult nagyrészt irhával és ezüsttel megrakodva Rio de la Plátából Havannába, hogy onnan aztán európai árukkal megrakodva térjen vissza. Öt portugál tengerész is volt a fedélzeten, akiket egy hajóroncsból mentettek ki.
