I jumped up, and regardless of danger I went, as soon as I could get my clothes on, through my little grove, which, by the way, was by this time grown to be a very thick wood; I say, regardless of danger I went without my arms, which was not my custom to do; but I was surprised when, turning my eyes to the sea, I presently saw a boat at about a league and a half distance, standing in for the shore, with a shoulder-of-mutton sail, as they call it, and the wind blowing pretty fair to bring them in: also I observed, presently, that they did not come from that side which the shore lay on, but from the southernmost end of the island.
Nagy volt a meglepetésem, amikor hat-nyolc kilométer távolságban a part mentén megpillantottam egy csónakot, amely éppen kikötni készült. Az is jól látszott, hogy nem a földrész felől, hanem a sziget legdélibb pontja irányából érkezett.
