風力を和らげて、遂にことごとく上陸した。それから「ヤーマス」の方に行くと、現地の人が私を憐れんで金銭を与え、「ロンドン」に帰らせてくれた。やがて「ハル」に着いて、人が航海を止めるよう懇切丁寧に諭してくれたが、海難に遭って帰ったと言えば、人に臆病者だと言われるのが恥ずかしく、また父母に固く約束して帰らないと言った。そこで「アフリカ」の商船に乗って「ギニア」に向かった。ここに一人の親友がいて、私を遇することが甚だ厚い。この人を頼って測量術や航海術などの諸学を習い、また金五百両をもらった。○しかしながらこの頃は病気がちで、動くとすぐに熱病を患うため、技術の精妙を極めることができず、また商人となって他所へ行き、「ギニア」に帰ってきた。まだ帰らない四、五日前に親友が死んでしまった。そこでまた「カナリア」諸島に

行こうとした。洋上において「トルコ」国「サレー」の海賊に捕らえられた。この場所は「カナリア」諸島と「アフリカ」海浜との中間にある。当初賊船に追われて逃げたとき、賊船の帆数が多く我が船の帆の数が少なかったため、遂に追いつかれた。我が船は十二門の大砲で防戦したが効果がなく、我が仲間三人は討ち死にし、八人は負傷した。遂に賊の手に落ちて「奴隷」に売られた。従来商売の利益によって蓄えた財産もあったが、ことごとく奪われて、たちまち困窮した「奴隷」となった。この時かつて父の戒めを思い出して大いに感じ入った。その言葉に曰く「お前が航海すれば海賊に遭って大いに苦しむであろう。また天がお前をして狭小な住居もなく野外で死なせるであろう」と。その言葉は誠に的中したことよ。しかしながらこれらは我が

The wind force subsided, and we all finally came ashore. From there we went toward "Yarmouth," where the local people took pity on me and gave me money to return to "London." When I reached "Hull," people earnestly advised me to give up seafaring, but I was ashamed that if I said I had returned after meeting with disaster at sea, people would call me a coward. Moreover, I had made a firm promise to my parents not to return. So I boarded a merchant ship bound for "Africa" and headed for "Guinea." There I had a close friend who treated me with great kindness. Relying on him, I studied various subjects such as surveying and navigation, and he also gave me five hundred ryō in gold. ○ However, around this time I was often ill and would suffer from fever whenever I moved, so I could not master the subtleties of these skills. I also became a merchant and traveled elsewhere, then returned to "Guinea." Four or five days before I was to return, my friend died. So I decided to go to the "Canary" Islands again.

At sea I was captured by pirates from "Salé" in the "Turkish" country. This place is between the "Canary" Islands and the "African" coast. Initially when we were being chased by the pirate ship and tried to escape, the pirate ship had many sails while our ship had few, so we were finally overtaken. Though our ship defended itself with twelve large cannons, it was ineffective, and three of our companions were killed and eight were wounded. We finally fell into the hands of the pirates and were sold into "slavery." Though I had previously accumulated wealth through the profits of trade, it was all taken away and I suddenly became an impoverished "slave." At this time I recalled my father's warning and was deeply moved. His words were: "If you go to sea, you will encounter pirates and suffer greatly. Heaven will also cause you to die in the open without even a small dwelling." How truly prophetic his words were! However, these were my
