This was what I wished for; and immediately leaving Friday and the captain’s mate to their business, I took the rest with me; and, crossing the creek out of their sight, we surprised the two men before they were aware—one of them lying on the shore, and the other being in the boat.
Uno de los tres hombres que iban a bordo se unió a los demás, dejando a los otros dos a cargo de ella, después de amarrarla al tronco de un pequeño árbol que estaba en la orilla. Esto era lo que yo esperaba, así que dejé a Viernes y al segundo de abordo a cargo de su parte.
