I kept my piece in my hand still without firing, being willing to keep my charge ready, because I had given the Spaniard my pistol and sword: so I called to Friday, and bade him run up to the tree from whence we first fired, and fetch the arms which lay there that had been discharged, which he did with great swiftness; and then giving him my musket, I sat down myself to load all the rest again, and bade them come to me when they wanted.
Mantuve mi arma en la mano, sin disparar, con el propósito de reservar la carga que me quedaba, pues le había entregado mi pistola y mi sable al español. Llamé a Viernes y le pedí que fuera corriendo al árbol desde donde habíamos disparado al principio y recogiera las armas descargadas que estaban allí, lo cual hizo con gran rapidez.
