Question

We might have made about thirty miles when daybreak found us some three musket-shots off the land, which seemed to us deserted, and without anyone to see us. For all that, however, by hard rowing we put out a little to sea, for it was now somewhat calmer, and having gained about two leagues the word was given to row by batches, while we ate something, for the vessel was well provided; but the rowers said it was not a time to take any rest; let food be served out to those who were not rowing, but they would not leave their oars on any account.

Accepted Answer

»Bien habríamos navegado treinta millas, cuando nos amaneció, como tres tiros de arcabuz desviados de tierra, toda la cual vimos desierta y sin nadie que nos descubriese; pero, con todo eso, nos fuimos a fuerza de brazos entrando un poco en la mar, que ya estaba algo más sosegada; y, habiendo entrado casi dos leguas, diose orden que se bogase a cuarteles en tanto que comíamos algo, que iba bien proveída la barca, puesto que los que bogaban dijeron que no era aquél tiempo de tomar reposo alguno, que les diesen de comer los que no bogaban, que ellos no querían soltar los remos de las manos en manera alguna.
