The captain made a very just proposal to me upon this consultation of theirs, viz. that perhaps they would all fire a volley again, to endeavour to make their fellows hear, and that we should all sally upon them just at the juncture when their pieces were all discharged, and they would certainly yield, and we should have them without bloodshed.
El capitán propuso un plan que me pareció muy razonable. Intuía que harían otro disparo de salva para que lo oyeran sus compañeros.
