I had the biggest magazine of all kinds now that ever was laid up, I believe, for one man: but I was not satisfied still, for while the ship sat upright in that posture, I thought I ought to get everything out of her that I could; so every day at low water I went on board, and brought away something or other; but particularly the third time I went I brought away as much of the rigging as I could, as also all the small ropes and rope-twine I could get, with a piece of spare canvas, which was to mend the sails upon occasion, and the barrel of wet gunpowder.
Tenía el mayor almacén que un solo hombre hubiese podido reunir jamás, pero no me sentía a gusto, pues pensaba que, mientras el barco permaneciera erguido, debía rescatar de él todo lo que pudiera. Así, pues, todos los días, cuando bajaba la marea, me llegaba hasta él y traía una cosa u otra.
