可是，我相信，假如天气好下去，我一定可以把全船拆成一块块的木板搬到岸上。当我正准备第十二次上船时，开始刮起了大风，但我还是在退潮时上了船，尽管我以为我已搜遍了全船，不可能再找到什么有用的东西了，结果还是有新发现。我找到了一个有抽屉的柜子，在一个抽屉里，我找出了两三把剃刀，一把大剪刀，十几副刀叉在另一个抽屉里，还发现了许多钱币，有欧洲的金币，有巴西的，有西班牙银币，我感到好笑。 - 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
他不仅不收我的船费，并出二十枚欧洲流通金币买下我的豹皮，四十枚金币买下狮子皮。我小艇上的一应物品，立刻如数奉还给我我愿出卖的东西，他又都通通买下，包括酒箱两支枪剩下的一大块蜜蜡，其余的我都做成蜡烛在旅途中点掉了。简而言之，我变卖物品共得了二百二十西班牙银币带着这笔钱，我踏上了巴西海岸。
