However, I found that being between two great currents—viz. that on the south side, which had hurried me away, and that on the north, which lay about a league on the other side; I say, between these two, in the wake of the island, I found the water at least still, and running no way; and having still a breeze of wind fair for me, I kept on steering directly for the island, though not making such fresh way as I did before.
No obstante, descubrí que entre las dos corrientes, es decir, la que estaba al sur, que me había alejado de la isla, y la que estaba al norte, que estaba a una legua del otro lado, el agua estaba en calma y no me impulsaba en ninguna dirección. Mas gracias a una brisa, que me resultaba favorable, seguí avanzando hacia la costa, aunque no tan de prisa como antes.
