"I shall try to keep in the offing until the flood, that is to say, till about seven in the evening, and if there is still light enough I will try to enter the gulf; if not, we must stand off and on during the night, and we will enter to-morrow at sunrise."
–Tratar de mantenernos al largo hasta la hora del flujo, es decir, hasta las siete de la tarde, y, si entonces hay posibilidad, intentaré entrar en el golfo; si no, continuaremos corriendo bordadas durante toda la noche y entraremos mañana al salir el sol.
