現代語訳
鯨漁をして十月頃と覚えているオアフ島へ着船し、薪と水を取り入れて三十日ほど滞船しました。その間に同所へ上陸して伝蔵その他の者たちを尋ねましたが、伝蔵と五右衛門は不在で、虎右衛門に面会しました。伝蔵と五右衛門は日本へ帰りたいということで、アメリカの鯨漁船に便船を頼んで出帆したとのことでした。十助は先だって病死したと聞きました。虎右衛門は船中を恐れて便船に乗らず逗留しており、大工の弟子になっていると申しました。私はこれまでの次第を話して立ち別れたところ、乗り組んでいた船が出帆する三日前に、伝蔵と五右衛門の乗り組んだ船が帰船したと承ったので、尋ねてその船へ行って両人に面会し、様子を承りました。日本の松前辺りまで行って、地名は分からない場所へ上陸したけれども、無人島同様で立ち帰ったとのことを申し立て、種々話などをして相別れました。
同所を出帆して南太平洋の小島近海で鯨漁をしながら乗り回し、千八百四十八年三月頃（嘉永元年二月に相当する）キアン島へ船を繋いで薪と水を取り入れ、三十日ほど滞船しました。同所を出帆して赤道下で七ヶ月ほど鯨漁をしている間、小島へ船を着けて薪と水を取り入れました。これは裸島で、先だって行った同様のところでした。折々小島へ船を着けて薪と水を取り入れましたが、これもまた同様でした。同年十一月、スペイン領セイロン島へ船を繋ぎました。琉球国ほどの島で、湊の入口は一里ほど、幅十八町ほどに見え、家数は五十軒ほどありました。四十日ほど滞船して薪と水を取り入れ、千八百四十九年正月下旬（嘉永二年十二月中旬に相当する）同所を出帆しました。
英語訳
After whaling, we arrived at Oahu Island around what I recall was October, took on firewood and water, and stayed for about thirty days. During that time, I went ashore to inquire about Denzō and the others. Denzō and Goemon were not there, but I met with Toraemon. I was told that Denzō and Goemon, wanting to return to Japan, had requested passage on an American whaling ship and departed. I heard that Jūsuke had died of illness some time before. Toraemon said he was afraid of being at sea and did not take passage on a ship, but remained there and had become a carpenter's apprentice. I told him about my circumstances up to that point and took my leave.
Three days before our ship was to depart, I heard that the ship carrying Denzō and Goemon had returned, so I inquired and went to that ship to meet with both men and hear about their situation. They said they had gone as far as the Matsumae area of Japan and landed at a place whose name they didn't know, but it was like an uninhabited island, so they had returned. We talked about various things and then parted.
We departed from that place and sailed around whaling in the waters near small islands in the South Pacific. Around March 1848 (corresponding to February of Kaei 1), we moored at Kian Island, took on firewood and water, and stayed for about thirty days. We departed from there and spent about seven months whaling near the equator, during which time we put in at small islands to take on firewood and water. These were barren islands, similar to those we had visited before. We occasionally put in at small islands to take on firewood and water, which were also similar. In November of the same year, we moored at Ceylon Island, a Spanish territory. It was an island about the size of the Ryukyu Kingdom, with a harbor entrance about one ri long and about eighteen chō wide, and about fifty houses. We stayed for about forty days taking on firewood and water, and departed in late January 1849 (corresponding to mid-December of Kaei 2).
