For this purpose I marked out several trees, which I thought fit for our work, and I set Friday and his father to cut them down; and then I caused the Spaniard, to whom I imparted my thoughts on that affair, to oversee and direct their work.
Con este propósito, fui marcando varios árboles que me parecían adecuados para la labor y te ordené a Viernes y a su padre que los cortaran. Al español le encomendé que supervisara y dirigiera estas tareas.
