I walked as far as I could upon the shore to have got to her; but found a neck or inlet of water between me and the boat which was about half a mile broad; so I came back for the present, being more intent upon getting at the ship, where I hoped to find something for my present subsistence.
Caminé por la orilla lo que pude para llegar a él, pero me encontré con una cala o una franja de mar, de casi media milla de ancho, que se interponía entre el bote y yo. Decidí entonces regresar a donde estaba, pues mi intención era llegar al barco, donde esperaba encontrar algo para subsistir.
