As soon as I saw them shipped and gone, I took two guns upon my shoulders, and two pistols in my girdle, and my great sword by my side without a scabbard, and with all the speed I was able to make went away to the hill where I had discovered the first appearance of all; and as soon as I get thither, which was not in less than two hours (for I could not go quickly, being so loaded with arms as I was), I perceived there had been three canoes more of the savages at that place; and looking out farther, I saw they were all at sea together, making over for the main.
Tan pronto como se embarcaron y partieron, salí con mis dos escopetas al hombro, dos pistolas en la cintura y mi gran sable sin vaina, colgado a un costado. Subí a la colina, donde los había visto por primera vez, tan velozmente como pude.
