Besides this, I kept myself, as I said, more retired than ever, and seldom went from my cell except upon my constant employment, to milk my she-goats, and manage my little flock in the wood, which, as it was quite on the other part of the island, was out of danger; for certain, it is that these savage people, who sometimes haunted this island, never came with any thoughts of finding anything here, and consequently never wandered off from the coast, and I doubt not but they might have been several times on shore after my apprehensions of them had made me cautious, as well as before.
Aparte de esto, como he dicho, me mantuve más recluido que nunca, sin salir de mi celda, salvo para realizar mis tareas habituales, es decir, ordeñar las cabras y cuidar el pequeño rebaño del bosque, que, como estaba al otro lado de la isla, se hallaba fuera de peligro. Ciertamente, los salvajes que a veces merodeaban por esta isla, jamás venían con el propósito de encontrar nada en ella y, por lo tanto, nunca se alejaban de la costa.
