The generous treatment the captain gave me, i can never enough remember ; he would take nothing of me for my passage, gave me twenty ducats for the leopard s skin, and forty for the lyon s skin which i had in my boat, and caused every thing i had in the ship to be punctually deliver d me, and what i was willing to sell he bought, such as the case of bottles, two of my guns, and a piece of the lump of bees - wax, for i had made candles of the rest ; in a word, i made about 220 pieces of eight of all my cargo, and with this stock i went on shoar in the brasils
他不僅不收我的船費，並出二十枚歐洲流通金幣買下我的豹皮，四十枚金幣買下獅子皮。我小艇上的一應物品，立刻如數奉還給我我願出賣的東西，他又都通通買下，包括酒箱兩支槍剩下的一大塊蜜蠟，其餘的我都做成蠟燭在旅途中點掉了。簡而言之，我變賣物品共得了二百二十西班牙銀幣帶著這筆錢，我踏上了巴西海岸。 -
My first contrivance was to make a pretence to speak to this moor, to get something for our subsistance on board ; for i told him we must not presume to eat of our patroon s bread, he said that was true ; so he brought a large basket of rusk or bisket of their kind, and three jarrs with fresh water into the boat ; i knew where my patroon s case of bottles stood, which it was evident by the make were taken out of some english prize ; and i convey d them into the boat while the moor was on shoar, as if they had been there before, for our master : i convey d also a great lump of bees - wax into the boat, which weighed above half a hundred weight, with a parcel of twine or thread, a hatchet, a saw and a hammer, all which were of great use to us afterwards ; especially the wax to make candles
我知道主人裝酒的箱子放的地方看那箱子的樣子，顯然也是從英國人手裡奪來的戰利品。我趁那摩爾人上岸去的時候，就把那箱酒搬上舢舨，放到一個適當的地方，好像主人原來就放在那兒似的。同時我又搬了六十多磅蜜蠟到船上來，還順便拿了一小包粗線，一把斧頭，一把鋸子和一隻錘子這些東西后來對我都非常有用，尤其是蜜蠟，可以用來做蠟燭。
