Yet such was the fright I had taken of the Moors, and the dreadful apprehensions I had of falling into their hands, that I would not stop, or go on shore, or come to an anchor; the wind continuing fair till I had sailed in that manner five days; and then the wind shifting to the southward, I concluded also that if any of our vessels were in chase of me, they also would now give over; so I ventured to make to the coast, and came to an anchor in the mouth of a little river, I knew not what, nor where, neither what latitude, what country, what nation, or what river.
Cuando el viento comenzó a soplar del sur, decidí que si alguno de nuestros barcos había salido a buscarnos, a estas alturas se habría dado por vencido. Así, pues, me aventuré a acercarme a la costa y me anclé en la boca de un pequeño río, sin saber cuál era, ni dónde estaba, ni en qué latitud se encontraba, ni en qué país o en qué nación.
