Me dijo que todos eran hombres civilizados y honestos, que se hallaban en la peor situación imaginable, sin armas ni ropa, sin otro alimento que el que los salvajes les cedían generosamente y sin esperanzas de regresar a su patria. Si yo los ayudaba, podía estar seguro de que estarían dispuestos a dar la vida por mí.
