It is scarcely possible to imagine the consternation I was now in, being driven from my beloved island (for so it appeared to me now to be) into the wide ocean, almost two leagues, and in the utmost despair of ever recovering it again.
Es difícil imaginar la consternación en la que me hallaba sumido, al verme arrastrado lejos de mi amada isla (pues así la sentía ahora) hacia el ancho mar, a dos leguas de ella y con pocas esperanzas de volver.
