I first made a little out to sea, full north, till I began to feel the benefit of the current, which set eastward, and which carried me at a great rate; and yet did not so hurry me as the current on the south side had done before, so as to take from me all government of the boat; but having a strong steerage with my paddle, I went at a great rate directly for the wreck, and in less than two hours I came up to it.
Reggel elindultam, előbb északnak tartottam a csónakkal, majd találkoztam a kelet felé tartó áramlattal, amely korántsem volt olyan erős, mint korábban a déli, de így is nagyban segítette a haladásomat. Részben ennek köszönhető, hogy két óra alatt elértem a roncsot.
