……アイノ（アイヌ）と言う者が、猟業のためにこの島（ウルップ島）に来て居たりしため、この漂着船を見付け、乗り移り見れば、船中は無人にして、ただ赤人（ロシア人）の死骸が一つあり、荷物を見るに夥（おびただ）しく、その品々には、金銭・銀銭・羅紗（らしゃ）・猩々緋（しょうじょうひ）、その外（ほか）布帛（ふはく）の類、まことに珍器・良産等、勝って数え難し。「ハツハアイ」の財のみあるうえは、天より我に与え給う所なればとて、船中の宝物ことごとく拾い取り、深く隠し置き、船をば放火して焼き払いたり。
ここに、近年毎年猟業のために渡海するロシア人の大船が、遠沖よりかすかに見え、段々と間近くなり、やがてこのウルップ島へ着船すべきと見ければ……

……「ハツハアイ」は思量（しりょう）するに、ロシア人の大船を焼き払い、船中の荷物を奪い取りたることが露顕（ろけん）するにおいては、船中の人もわれらが（乗組員を）殺害したかと疑いを受けしと、日和（ひより）の善悪をも見定めず、あわてて蝦夷船九艘（そう）に彼の宝物を積み、乗組みの土人百余人にてウルップ島より出帆して、彼らが住居の「エトロフ島」（択捉島）に逃げ帰らんと、海岸を離れ、潮汐（ちょうせき）の急流をも厭わず大灘（おおなだ）を渡海せしに、折しも悪風強く吹き、沖中にて九艘とも覆（くつがえ）りて、百余人の蝦夷土人みな死たり。
程なくロシアの船、ウルップ島に着岸して上陸せしに、甚辺（じんべん）に周……

…An Ainu man had come to this island (Uruppu/Urup) for the purpose of hunting, and upon discovering the drifted ship, he boarded it and found the vessel empty of any living soul, with only a single Russian corpse aboard. Looking over the cargo, he found it immense in quantity; among the goods were gold coins, silver coins, woolen broadcloth (*rasha*), scarlet cloth (*shōjōhi*), and various other fabrics and textiles, as well as truly rare and precious articles and fine goods — so numerous as to be beyond counting. Thinking to himself that, since only his own resources (*Hatsuha-ai*'s possessions) were at hand, and that this must be a gift bestowed upon him by Heaven, he gathered up every last treasure from the ship and concealed it deep in hiding, then set fire to the ship and burned it to the ground.
Now, in recent years a large Russian ship, which crossed the sea annually for the purpose of hunting, could be seen faintly in the far offing, gradually drawing closer, and it appeared that it would presently make for Uruppu Island to anchor there…

…"Hatsuha-ai" reflected that, should it come to light that he had burned the Russian ship and plundered its cargo, the Russians aboard the arriving vessel might well suspect him and his companions of having murdered the crew as well. Without even taking stock of the weather conditions, he hastily loaded the treasures aboard nine Ainu vessels, and together with a party of over one hundred native crew members, set sail from Uruppu Island, intending to flee back to their home on Etorofu Island (Iturup Island). They left the shore and crossed the open sea, heedless even of the fierce tidal currents; but just then a violent wind blew up, and in the midst of the open water all nine vessels capsized, and every one of the hundred-odd Ainu perished.
Before long, the Russian ship arrived at Uruppu Island and came ashore, and searched the vicinity thoroughly…
