There was between them and my castle the creek, which I mentioned often in the first part of my story, where I landed my cargoes out of the ship; and this I saw plainly he must necessarily swim over, or the poor wretch would be taken there; but when the savage escaping came thither, he made nothing of it, though the tide was then up; but plunging in, swam through in about thirty strokes, or thereabouts, landed, and ran with exceeding strength and swiftness.
Entre ellos y mi morada se hallaba aquel río que mencioné varias veces en la primera parte de mi historia, cuando describía el desembarco del cargamento que había rescatado del naufragio. Evidentemente, el pobre infeliz tendría que cruzarlo a nado, pues, de lo contrario, lo capturarían allí.
