I had also several tame sea-fowls, whose name I knew not, that I caught upon the shore, and cut their wings; and the little stakes which I had planted before my castle-wall being now grown up to a good thick grove, these fowls all lived among these low trees, and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that, as I said above, I began to be very well contented with the life I led, if I could have been secured from the dread of the savages.
Tenía, además, algunas aves marítimas, cuyo nombre desconozco, a las que capturé en la playa y les corté las alas. Como las pequeñas estacas que había plantado delante del castillo crecieron hasta formar un espeso follaje, estas aves vivían y se reproducían en las copas de los árboles bajos, lo cual me resultaba muy agradable.
