As soon as the ship was thus secured, the captain ordered seven guns to be fired, which was the signal agreed upon with me to give me notice of his success, which, you may be sure, I was very glad to hear, having sat watching upon the shore for it till near two o’clock in the morning.
Tan pronto recuperaron el barco, el capitán ordenó que se dispararan siete cañonazos, que era la señal acordada para informarme del éxito de la empresa. Podéis estar seguros de que los escuché con gran placer, dado que estuve en vela, sentado en la playa, desde las dos de la madrugada.
