As for myself, it was no great harm, for I was near the shore; but as to my cargo, it was a great part of it lost, especially the iron, which I expected would have been of great use to me; however, when the tide was out, I got most of the pieces of the cable ashore, and some of the iron, though with infinite labour; for I was fain to dip for it into the water, a work which fatigued me very much.
Jómagam csakhamar szárazra vergődtem, hanem a szállítmány nagy része, közte szinte az egész nehéz vasáru, amelynek nagy hasznát vehettem volna, odaveszett. A tengerapály beálltával a vízbe lemerülve, nagy fáradozások árán, sikerült megmentenem a horgonykötelek nagy részét és némi vasat.
