Upon the whole, I got very little by this voyage that was of any use to me; for, as to the money, I had no manner of occasion for it; it was to me as the dirt under my feet, and I would have given it all for three or four pair of English shoes and stockings, which were things I greatly wanted, but had had none on my feet for many years.
En resumidas cuentas, conseguí muy pocas cosas de utilidad en el viaje, pues, el dinero no me servía de nada; era como el polvo bajo mis pies, y lo habría cambiado todo por tres o cuatro pares de zapatos ingleses y calcetines, que desde hacía mucho tiempo necesitaba.
