Coming back by the sea-shore, I saw many sorts of sea-fowls, which I did not understand; but was surprised, and almost frightened, with two or three seals, which, while I was gazing at, not well knowing what they were, got into the sea, and escaped me for that time.
A la vuelta, por la orilla, vi muchos tipos de aves marinas que no conocía y fui sorprendido y casi asustado por dos o tres focas que, mientras las observaba sin saber qué eran, se echaron al mar y escaparon, por esa vez.
