| Back | The commandant had been already made aware of his good fortune in seeing two such famous persons as Don Quixote and Sancho, and the instant they came to the shore all the galleys struck their awnings and the clarions rang out. A skiff covered with rich carpets and cushions of crimson velvet was immediately lowered into the water, and as Don Quixote stepped on board of it, the leading galley fired her gangway gun, and the other galleys did the same; and as he mounted the starboard ladder the whole crew saluted him (as is the custom when a personage of distinction comes on board a galley) by exclaiming "Hu, hu, hu," three times. |

| Front | El cuatralbo, que estaba avisado de su buena venida, por ver a los dos tan famosos Quijote y Sancho, apenas llegaron a la marina, cuando todas las galeras abatieron tienda, y sonaron las chirimías; arrojaron luego el esquife al agua, cubierto de ricos tapetes y de almohadas de terciopelo carmesí, y, en poniendo que puso los pies en él don Quijote, disparó la capitana el cañón de crujía, y las otras galeras hicieron lo mesmo, y, al subir don Quijote por la escala derecha, toda la chusma le saludó como es usanza cuando una persona principal entra en la galera, diciendo: ''¡Hu, hu, hu!'' tres veces. |
