| Back | I wrote the English captain’s widow a full account of all my adventures—my slavery, escape, and how I had met with the Portuguese captain at sea, the humanity of his behaviour, and what condition I was now in, with all other necessary directions for my supply; and when this honest captain came to Lisbon, he found means, by some of the English merchants there, to send over, not the order only, but a full account of my story to a merchant in London, who represented it effectually to her; whereupon she not only delivered the money, but out of her own pocket sent the Portugal captain a very handsome present for his humanity and charity to me. |

| Front | Le conté sobre la forma en que había conocido al capitán portugués en el mar y sobre su trato compasivo, le expliqué el estado en el que me encontraba, y le di las instrucciones necesarias para llevar a cabo mis encargos. Cuando este honesto capitán llegó a Lisboa, logró que unos mercaderes ingleses que había allí, le hicieran llegar, tanto mi orden escrita como el recuento completo de mi historia, a un mercader de Londres que, a su vez, se la contó con lujo de detalles a la viuda. |
