Then the engineer told who they all were, Gideon Spilett, Herbert, Pencroft, Neb, himself, and, he added, that the greatest happiness they had felt since their arrival in Lincoln Island was on the return of the vessel from Tabor Island, when they had been able to include among them a new companion.
Después, el ingeniero le dijo los nombres y cualidades de todos, Gedeón Spilett, Harbert, Pencroff, Nab y él, y añadió que la mayor alegría que habían experimentado en la isla Lincoln era haber visto aumentar la colonia con un compañero venido de la isla Tabor.
