A few days later I was struck by the sight of some smoke, which came from a fire no more than two miles off. From this time I lost all my peace of mind. Day and night a dread would haunt me that the men who had made this fire would find me out. I went home and drew up my steps, but first I made all things round me look wild and rude. To load my gun was the next thing to do, and I thought it would be best to stay at home and hide. But this was not to be borne long. I had no spy to send out, and all I could do was to get to the top of the hill and keep a good lookout. At last, through my glass I could see a group of wild men join in a dance round their fire. As soon as they stopped, I took two guns and slung a sword on my side; then with all speed I set off to the top of the hill, once more to have a good view.
几天后，我突然看到一股烟，是从不到两英里外的一场大火中冒出来的。从那时起，我无法平静。一种恐惧日夜萦绕在我的心头，我很害怕生火的那些人会发现我。我回到家里，放慢了脚步，但首先我让我周围的一切显得狂野和粗鲁。下一步就是装枪，我想最好要待在家里躲起来。但这并没有持续多久。我没有间谍可以派遣出去，我所能做的就是爬上山顶，好好望一望。最后，透过我的玻璃，我看到一群野人围着火堆跳舞。他们一停止，我就拿着两把枪并把一把剑挂在身上；然后我全速出发前往山顶，再次好好看看。
This time I made up my mind to go up to the men, but not with a view to kill them, for I felt that it would be wrong to do so. With a heavy load of arms it took me two hours to reach the spot where the fire was; and by the time I got there, the men had all gone, but I saw them in four boats out at sea.
这次我决定去找那些人，但不是想去杀他们，因为我觉得这样做是错误的。拿着沉重的武器，我花了两个小时才到达生火的地方；我到那里时，所有人都走了，但是我看见他们在海上的四艘船上。
Down on the shore there was a proof of what the work of these men had been. The signs of their feast made me sick at heart, and I shut my eyes. I dared not fire my gun when I went out for food on that side of the isle, lest there should be some of the men left, who might hear it, and so find me out.
在海岸上只有一个证据能证明这群人的所作所为。他们宴席留下的痕迹让我心里难受，我闭上了眼睛。我到岛的那边寻找食物时不敢开枪，生怕那群人还有人留在岛上，听到枪声就把我找出来了。
