This put new thoughts into my head; for I presently imagined that these might be the men belonging to the ship that was cast away in the sight of my island, as I now called it; and who, after the ship was struck on the rock, and they saw her inevitably lost, had saved themselves in their boat, and were landed upon that wild shore among the savages.
Esto me suscitó nuevos pensamientos, pues imaginé que podía ser la tripulación del barco que había naufragado cerca de mi isla, como la llamaba ahora. Después de que el barco se estrellara contra las rocas, viendo que se hundiría inevitablemente, se habían salvado en el bote y habían llegado a aquella costa habitada por salvajes.
