猛獣多ト聞テ此念止ム○日晩ニ及ンテ海路ヲ転シ
此国ニ沿テ東南ニ向テ出帆ス此処ハ海気甚寒クシテ
堪カタシ翌日百五十里計洋中ニ国アルヲ見ル雲烟
ニ隠見シ的実ニ認難シ蓋「サルエー」ノ南「マラツカ」ノ外
ニ当レリ適東南ニ向テ風吹コト五日是我天幸ニシテ大
ニ海路ヲ進ム是ニ於テ風変ス我思フニ「サルエー」ノ
主家逃ルヲ追フト雖此遠洋ニ到マシ由テ一小河ノ
末漾海ニ注ク所ニ錨ヲ投ス此所ハ居人ノ有無地ノ
広狭及地名等知ラサル所ナリ○日ノ暮サル先ニ薪

猛獣が多いと聞いてこの考えを止める。○日が夕方に及んで航路を転じ、この国に沿って東南に向かって出帆する。この辺りは海の気候が甚だ寒くて堪え難い。翌日百五十里ほど沖合いに国があるのを見る。雲煙に隠れ見えして、確実に認めがたい。思うに「サルエー」の南、「マラツカ」の外に当たっているのだろう。ちょうど東南に向かって風が吹くこと五日、これは我が天の幸いであって大いに航路を進む。ここにおいて風が変わる。私が思うに「サルエー」の主家が逃亡を追うといえども、この遠い沖合いまでは来るまい。よって一つの小河の末端が海に注ぐ所に錨を投ずる。この所は住人の有無、土地の広狭及び地名等を知らない所である。○日の暮れる前に薪と水を求め、急いで岸に上がろうとする。時に日は既に没していた。忽ち驚くべき声で叫ぶ者がある。何物か判別できない。僕は大いに恐れ
【左丁】
戦慄して止まない。私が岸に上がろうとする時、僕が止めて言う「明日上がるべきです」と。私は答えて言う「明日もし人に会えば猛獣より恐ろしい。されども日が既に没したゆえ、岸に上がって水を汲むことを果たさず」と。○童僕朱利は本来我が邦人ではないので、訛ったイングランド国の語で答えて言う「それならば銃に火薬を詰めて用意すべし」と。私はこれに従って銃を備え、僕に一杯の火酒（焼酎）を与えて精神を強くする。私もまたあの怪物を気にかけず、この所に錨を投じ寝室に入るけれども、終夜眠らず。その後一時間半にして巨大な物を見る。何物か判別できない。その物は岸より海上に来たって水浴びして転げ回り、大いに叫ぶ声が耳を劈く。その声や容貌はまだ聞いたことがない所である。朱利は大いに驚き、顔色を失って船底に潜む。私はその物を

I heard there were many fierce beasts and abandoned this idea. ○When evening came, I changed course and set sail along this country toward the southeast. In this area the sea climate was extremely cold and unbearable. The next day I saw a country about 150 ri offshore. It appeared and disappeared in clouds and mist, making it difficult to recognize clearly. I believe it corresponded to the south of "Salé" and beyond "Morocco." Just then the wind blew toward the southeast for five days - this was my heavenly fortune and I made great progress on my sea route. At this point the wind changed. I thought that even if my master's household from "Salé" pursued my escape, they would not come to these distant waters. Therefore I dropped anchor where a small river flowed into the sea. This was a place where I knew nothing about whether there were inhabitants, the extent of the land, place names, and so forth. ○Before evening fell I sought firewood and water and tried to hurriedly go ashore. At that time the sun had already set. Suddenly there was someone crying out with a terrifying voice. I could not discern what it was. My servant was greatly frightened

and trembled without cease. When I was about to go ashore, my servant stopped me and said "You should go up tomorrow." I answered saying "If we meet people tomorrow it will be more frightening than wild beasts. However, since the sun has already set, I cannot accomplish going ashore to draw water." ○The servant boy Xury was not originally from my country, so he answered in broken English saying "Then you should load the gun with gunpowder and prepare." I followed this advice and prepared the gun, giving my servant a cup of spirits (shōchū) to strengthen his spirit. I also paid no mind to that monster, dropped anchor at this place and entered the sleeping quarters, though I did not sleep all night. After about an hour and a half I saw a huge creature. I could not discern what it was. This thing came from the shore into the sea, bathed and rolled about, crying out loudly with a voice that pierced the ears. Its voice and appearance were unlike anything I had ever heard before. Xury was greatly startled, lost all color in his face and hid in the bottom of the boat. I [observed] that creature
