We were all thrown into perplexity by these cries, not knowing what to do; but reflecting that the shouts of the shepherd would raise the country and that the mounted coast-guard would come at once to see what was the matter, we agreed that the renegade must strip off his Turkish garments and put on a captive's jacket or coat which one of our party gave him at once, though he himself was reduced to his shirt; and so commending ourselves to God, we followed the same road which we saw the shepherd take, expecting every moment that the coast-guard would be down upon us.
»Con estas voces quedamos todos confusos, y no sabíamos qué hacernos; pero, considerando que las voces del pastor habían de alborotar la tierra, y que la caballería de la costa había de venir luego a ver lo que era, acordamos que el renegado se desnudase las ropas del turco y se vistiese un gilecuelco o casaca de cautivo que uno de nosotros le dio luego, aunque se quedó en camisa; y así, encomendándonos a Dios, fuimos por el mismo camino que vimos que el pastor llevaba, esperando siempre cuándo había de dar sobre nosotros la caballería de la costa.
