I had been now thirteen days on shore, and had been eleven times on board the ship, in which time I had brought away all that one pair of hands could well be supposed capable to bring; though I believe verily, had the calm weather held, I should have brought away the whole ship, piece by piece.
En este tiempo, traje todo lo que un solo par de manos era capaz de transportar, aunque no dudo que, de haber continuado el buen tiempo, habría traído el barco entero a pedazos. Mientras me preparaba para el duodécimo viaje, me di cuenta de que el viento comenzaba a soplar con más fuerza.
