“
As soon as I had secur'd my two weak rescued Prisoners, and given them Shelter, and a Place to rest them upon, I began to think of making some Provision for them: And the first thing I did, I order'd Friday to take a yearling Goat, betwixt a Kid and a Goat, out of my particular Flock, to be kill'd, when I cut off the hinder Quarter, and chopping it into small Pieces, I set Friday to Work to boiling and stewing, and made them a very good Dish, I assure you, of Flesh and Broth, having put some Barley and Rice also into the Broth; and as I cook'd it without Doors, for I made no Fire within my inner Wall, so I carry'd it all into the new Tent; and having set a Table there for them, I sat down and eat my own Dinner also with them, and, as well as I could, chear'd them and encourag'd them; Friday being my Interpreter, especially to his Father, and indeed to the Spaniard too; for the Spaniard spoke the Language of the Savages pretty well. 去书内

    Once I had secured my two frail, rescued prisoners and provided them with shelter and a place to rest, I started contemplating how to cater to their needs. My first act was to instruct Friday to select a young goat, neither too small nor too big, from my private flock for slaughter. After cutting off the hindquarter and chopping it into small pieces, I assigned Friday the task of boiling and stewing the meat. I assure you, with some barley and rice added to the broth, it turned into a delightful dish of meat and soup. Since I cooked outdoors, as I didn't make fires inside my inner wall, I carried everything into the new tent. Having set up a table for them there, I joined them for dinner and, as much as I could, cheered and encouraged them. Friday served as my interpreter, particularly for his father and, indeed, for the Spaniard too, as the Spaniard spoke the language of the savages quite well.
