I observed they had no weapons in their hand, except one, who had a long slender stick, which Xury said was a lance, and that they could throw them a great way with good aim; so I kept at a distance, but talked with them by signs as well as I could; and particularly made signs for something to eat: they beckoned to me to stop my boat, and they would fetch me some meat.
Observé que no llevaban ar mas, con la excepción de uno, que llevaba un palo largo y delgado, que, según Xury era una lanza, que arrojaban desde muy lejos y con muy buena puntería. Mantuve, pues, cierta distancia pero me dirigí a ellos como mejor pude, por medio de señas, sobre todo, para expresarles que buscábamos comida.
