I cast my eyes to the ship, and there she rode, within little more than half a mile of the shore; for they had weighed her anchor as soon as they were masters of her, and, the weather being fair, had brought her to an anchor just against the mouth of the little creek; and the tide being up, the captain had brought the pinnace in near the place where I had first landed my rafts, and so landed just at my door.
Miré hacia la nave y la divisé a un poco más de media milla de la playa, pues, tan pronto como la hubieron recuperado, levaron anclas y, aprovechando el buen tiempo, la llevaron hasta la embocadura de la pequeña ensenada, donde volvieron a anclarla. Como la marea estaba alta, el capitán había traído la chalupa hasta el lugar donde yo había llegado con mis balsas y había desembarcado justamente frente a mi puerta.
