But I was not content with this discovery; but having now more courage, and consequently more curiosity, I took my man Friday with me, giving him the sword in his hand, with the bow and arrows at his back, which I found he could use very dexterously, making him carry one gun for me, and I two for myself; and away we marched to the place where these creatures had been; for I had a mind now to get some further intelligence of them.
Sin embargo, no me quedé satisfecho con este descubrimiento. Con más valor y, por consiguiente, con mayor curiosidad, llevé a Viernes conmigo, le puse el sable en la mano, le coloqué en la espalda el arco y las flechas, con los que, según descubrí, era muy diestro.
