I ordered Friday and the captain’s mate to go over the little creek westward, towards the place where the savages came on shore, when Friday was rescued, and so soon as they came to a little rising round, at about half a mile distant, I bid them halloo out, as loud as they could, and wait till they found the seamen heard them; that as soon as ever they heard the seamen answer them, they should return it again; and then, keeping out of sight, take a round, always answering when the others hallooed, to draw them as far into the island and among the woods as possible, and then wheel about again to me by such ways as I directed them.
Cuando llegaran a un pequeño promontorio que estaba como a media milla, gritarían lo más fuertemente que pudieran y esperarían hasta que los marineros los oyeran. Después que les hubiesen contestado, debían regresar, manteniéndose ocultos y respondiendo a sus gritos, a fin de adentrarlos lo más posible en el bosque, dando un largo rodeo por ciertos caminos que les señalé, hasta llegar a donde estábamos nosotros.
