I asked the captain if he was willing to venture with these hands on board the ship; but as for me and my man Friday, I did not think it was proper for us to stir, having seven men left behind; and it was employment enough for us to keep them asunder, and supply them with victuals.
Azt mondtam a kapitánynak, bízom benne, hogy jól döntött, mert ami engem és Pénteket illeti, jobbnak láttam, ha a szigeten maradunk, hogy a foglyokat ne hagyjuk őrizetlenül és éhen se vesszenek.
