I found besides these Chests, a little Cask full of Liquor, of about twenty Gallons, which I got into my Boat, with much Difficulty; there were several Muskets in a Cabin, and a great Powder-horn, with about 4 Pounds of Powder in it; as for the Muskets, I had no occasion for them; so I left them, but took the Powder-horn: I took a Fire Shovel and Tongs, which I wanted extremely; as also two little Brass Kettles, a Copper Pot to make Chocolate, and a Gridiron; with this Cargo, and the Dog, I came away, the Tide beginning to make home again; and the same Evening, about an Hour within Night, I reach'd the Island again, weary and fatigu'd to the last Degree.

我费了九牛二虎之力，才把酒桶搬到小船上。船舱里还有几支短枪和一只盛火药的大角筒，里面大约有四磅火药。短枪对我来说已毫无用处。因此我就留下了，只取了盛火药的角筒。另外我又拿了一把火炉铲和一把火钳，这两样正是我十分需要的东西。我还拿了两把小铜壶，一只煮巧克力的铜锅和一把烤东西用的铁钯。我把这些货物通通装进我的小船，再带上那只狗，就准备回家了。这时正值涨潮，潮水开始向岛上流。天黑后不到一小时，我就回到了岸上，但人已劳累得疲倦不堪了。

Upon this Occasion of removing my Ammunition, I took occasion to open the Barrel of Powder which I took up out of the Sea, and which had been wet; and I found that the Water had penetrated about three or four Inches into the Powder, on every Side, which caking and growing hard, had preserv'd the inside like a Kernel in a Shell; so that I had near sixty Pound of very good Powder in the Center of the Cask, and this was an agreeable Discovery to me at that Time; so I carry'd all away thither, never keeping above two or three Pound of Powder with me in my Castle, for fear of a Surprize of any kind: I also carry'd thither all the Lead I had Belt for Bullets.

烧木炭的事顺便就谈到这里。再说有一天，我正在那里砍柴，忽然发现，在一片浓密的矮丛林后面，好像有一个深坑。我怀着好奇心想进去看看。我费力地走进洞口，发现里面相当大。我在里面站直了还绰绰有余，甚至还能再站一个人。可是说实在的，我一进去就赶快逃出来，因为我朝地穴深处一看，只见里面一片漆黑，在黑暗中，忽然看见有两只发亮的大眼睛，也不知道是魔鬼的眼睛，还是人的眼睛，在洞口射进去的微弱光线的反射下，那对眼睛像两颗星星闪闪发光。

Upon this Occasion of removing my Ammunition, I took occasion to open the Barrel of Powder which I took up out of the Sea, and which had been wet; and I found that the Water had penetrated about three or four Inches into the Powder, on every Side, which caking and growing hard, had preserv'd the inside like a Kernel in a Shell; so that I had near sixty Pound of very good Powder in the Center of the Cask, and this was an agreeable Discovery to me at that Time; so I carry'd all away thither, never keeping above two or three Pound of Powder with me in my Castle, for fear of a Surprize of any kind: I also carry'd thither all the Lead I had Belt for Bullets.

在这次转移军火时，我也顺便打开了我从海上捞起来的那桶受潮的火药。结果发现，火药四周进了三四寸水，结成了一层坚固的硬壳，可里面部分却完好无损，仿佛壳里的果仁保存得很好。我从桶里弄到了差不多六十磅好火药，这真是一个可喜的收获。不用说，我把全部火药都搬了过去。从此以后，我在城堡里最多只放三磅火药，唯恐发生任何意外。另外，我又把做子弹的铅也全部搬了过去。
