For us, however, it was not the resting-place of the wicked woman but a haven of safety for our relief, so much had the sea now got up. We posted a look-out on shore, and never let the oars out of our hands, and ate of the stores the renegade had laid in, imploring God and Our Lady with all our hearts to help and protect us, that we might give a happy ending to a beginning so prosperous.
»Pusimos nuestras centinelas en tierra, y no dejamos jamás los remos de la mano; comimos de lo que el renegado había proveído, y rogamos a Dios y a Nuestra Señora, de todo nuestro corazón, que nos ayudase y favoreciese para que felicemente diésemos fin a tan dichoso principio.
