Question

_May_ 3.—I began with my saw, and cut a piece of a beam through, which I thought held some of the upper part or quarter-deck together, and when I had cut it through, I cleared away the sand as well as I could from the side which lay highest; but the tide coming in, I was obliged to give over for that time.

Accepted Answer

Comencé a cortar un pedazo de travesaño que sostenía, según creía, parte de la plataforma o cubierta. Cuando terminé, quité toda la arena que pude de la parte más elevada pero la marea comenzó a subir y tuve que abandonar la tarea.
