I could not tell what part of the world this might be, otherwise than that I knew it must be part of America, and, as I concluded by all my observations, must be near the Spanish dominions, and perhaps was all inhabited by savages, where, if I had landed, I had been in a worse condition than I was now; and therefore I acquiesced in the dispositions of Providence, which I began now to own and to believe ordered everything for the best; I say I quieted my mind with this, and left off afflicting myself with fruitless wishes of being there.
No sabía qué parte del mundo era aquella, tan solo que debía ser parte de América y, en base a todas mis observaciones, debía estar cerca de los dominios españoles. Tal vez estaba habitada por salvajes y si hubiese naufragado allí, me habría encontrado en peor situación que en la que estaba.
