Nothing therefore which threw any light on the supposed wreck could be found on this shore, yet an object of any importance, such as the hull of a ship, would have been seen directly, or any of her masts and spars would have been washed on shore, just as the chest had been, which was found twenty miles from here.
Así, pues, nada de lo que tenía relación con el presunto naufragio pudo verse en el litoral y, sin embargo, un objeto de alguna importancia, el casco de un buque, por ejemplo, hubiera sido visible, si sus restos hubieran sido arrojados a la orilla como aquel cajón encontrado a menos de veinte millas de allí, pero no había nada.
