It may have been about mid-day when they placed us in the boat, giving us two kegs of water and some biscuit; and the captain, moved by I know not what compassion, as the lovely Zoraida was about to embark, gave her some forty gold crowns, and would not permit his men to take from her those same garments which she has on now. We got into the boat, returning them thanks for their kindness to us, and showing ourselves grateful rather than indignant.
»Cerca de mediodía podría ser cuando nos echaron en la barca, dándonos dos barriles de agua y algún bizcocho; y el capitán, movido no sé de qué misericordia, al embarcarse la hermosísima Zoraida, le dio hasta cuarenta escudos de oro, y no consintió que le quitasen sus soldados estos mesmos vestidos que ahora tiene puestos.
