But Friday, a lusty, strong fellow, took the Spaniard upon his back, and carried him away to the boat, and set him down softly upon the side or gunnel of the canoe, with his feet in the inside of it; and then lifting him quite in, he set him close to his father; and presently stepping out again, launched the boat off, and paddled it along the shore faster than I could walk, though the wind blew pretty hard too; so he brought them both safe into our creek, and leaving them in the boat, ran away to fetch the other canoe.
Mas Viernes, que era joven y robusto, cargó sobre sus espaldas al español hasta la canoa, lo colocó con mucha delicadeza en el borde, con los pies por dentro, y lo acomodó al lado de su padre. Después, saltó de la piragua, la metió en el mar y remó a lo largo de toda la costa, mucho más rápidamente de lo que yo podía avanzar caminando, a pesar de que soplaba un viento muy fuerte.
