It happened that he had appointed to go out in this boat, either for pleasure or for fish, with two or three Moors of some distinction in that place, and for whom he had provided extraordinarily, and had, therefore, sent on board the boat overnight a larger store of provisions than ordinary; and had ordered me to get ready three fusees with powder and shot, which were on board his ship, for that they designed some sport of fowling as well as fishing.
Sucedió que un día, para divertirse o pescar, había hecho planes para salir con dos o tres moros que gozaban de cierto prestigio en el lugar y a quienes quería agasajar espléndidamente. Para esto, ordenó que la noche anterior se llevaran a bordo más provisiones que las habituales y me mandó preparar pólvora y municiones para tres escopetas que llevaba a bordo, pues pensaba cazar, además de pescar.
