Translation examples
It was to no Purpose for them or us after we were in the Boat to think of reaching to their own Ship, so all agreed to let her drive and only to pull her in towards Shore as much as we could, and our Master promised them, That if the Boat was stav'd upon Shore he would make it good to their Master, so partly rowing and partly driving, our Boat went away to the Norward sloaping towards the Shore almost as far as Winterton Ness.
Wir konnten nicht daran denken, ihr eigenes Schiff zu erreichen, so wurden wir alle einig, das Boot treiben zu lassen und nur soviel als möglich auf das Ufer hinzusteuern, und unser Kapitän versprach ihnen, wenn das Boot an dem Strand zerschellte, wolle er es ihnen bezahlen. So fuhren wir, teils rudernd, teils treibend, nordwärts der Küste zu, fast bis Winterton-Ness.
