The sailor was right; they had been thrown, not on a continent, not even on an island, but on an islet which was not more than two miles in length, with even a less breadth.
La observación del marino era justa. Los náufragos habían sido arrojados no sobre un continente ni una isla, sino sobre un islote, que no medía más de dos millas de longitud y cuya anchura era evidentemente poco considerable.
