Being all met, and the captain with me, I caused the men to be brought before me, and I told them I had got a full account of their villainous behaviour to the captain, and how they had run away with the ship, and were preparing to commit further robberies, but that Providence had ensnared them in their own ways, and that they were fallen into the pit which they had dug for others.
Cuando estuvimos todos reunidos y con el capitán a mi lado, ordené que trajeran a los prisioneros ante mí y les dije que estaba al tanto de su malvada conducta hacia el capitán y de la forma en que habían tomado el barco con la intención de cometer nuevas fechorías, si la Providencia no los hubiese echo caer en el mismo foso que habían cavado para otros.
