At last Friday pitched upon a tree; for I found he knew much better than I what kind of wood was fittest for it; nor can I tell to this day what wood to call the tree we cut down, except that it was very like the tree we call fustic, or between that and the Nicaragua wood, for it was much of the same colour and smell.
Finalmente, Viernes escogió un árbol, ya que conocía mejor que yo el tipo de madera más apropiado para nuestro propósito. Ni aún hoy sería capaz de decir el nombre del árbol que cortamos.
