I walked about on the shore lifting up my hands, and my whole being, as I may say, wrapped up in a contemplation of my deliverance; making a thousand gestures and motions, which I cannot describe; reflecting upon all my comrades that were drowned, and that there should not be one soul saved but myself; for, as for them, I never saw them afterwards, or any sign of them, except three of their hats, one cap, and two shoes that were not fellows.
Caminé por la playa con las manos en alto y totalmente absorto en la contemplación de mi salvación, haciendo gestos y movimientos que no puedo describir, pensando en mis compañeros que se habían ahogado; no se salvó ni un alma, salvo yo, pues nunca más volví a verlos, ni hallé rastro de ellos, a excepción de tres de sus sombreros, una gorra y dos zapatos de distinto par.
