When I had thus prepared myself, I took my perspective glass, and went up to the side of the hill, to see what I could discover; and I found quickly by my glass that there were one-and-twenty savages, three prisoners, and three canoes; and that their whole business seemed to be the triumphant banquet upon these three human bodies: a barbarous feast, indeed! but nothing more than, as I had observed, was usual with them.
Inmediatamente, observé, gracias a mi catalejo, que había veintiún salvajes, tres prisioneros y tres canoas. Lo único que iban a hacer era celebrar un banquete triunfal con aquellos tres cuerpos humanos (un festín bárbaro, sin duda), que no tenía nada de particular respecto a los que solían hacer.
