In the meantime, Friday and the captain’s mate so well managed their business with the rest that they drew them, by hallooing and answering, from one hill to another, and from one wood to another, till they not only heartily tired them, but left them where they were, very sure they could not reach back to the boat before it was dark; and, indeed, they were heartily tired themselves also, by the time they came back to us.
Mientras tanto, Viernes y el segundo de abordo cumplían cabalmente su misión con los demás marineros. Gritando y aullando, los condujeron de colina en colina y de bosque en bosque hasta dejarlos, totalmente agotados, en un lugar tan apartado, que les sería imposible regresar a la chalupa antes del anochecer.
