谁都相信，我竟然能绝处逢生，其喜悦之情，实在难于言表。我立刻把我的一切东西送给船长，以报答他的救命之恩。 - 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
我知道主人装酒的箱子放的地方看那箱子的样子，显然也是从英国人手里夺来的战利品。我趁那摩尔人上岸去的时候，就把那箱酒搬上舢舨，放到一个适当的地方，好像主人原来就放在那儿似的。同时我又搬了六十多磅蜜蜡到船上来，还顺便拿了一小包粗线，一把斧头，一把锯子和一只锤子这些东西后来对我都非常有用，尤其是蜜蜡，可以用来做蜡烛。
