漂流民次郎吉の話を聞いて詩に記す（戊申二月十四日、石川氏が客を連れて来訪。千住の山田、後藤五郎川、池田諸氏も会合し、酒を酌み交わし談話を聞く。大変愉快で夜に入って散会した）
一 辛うじて一身の命が助かった幸せ（出国時十名、今は僅かに半数が生存）、往時を思い返すと魂も消え入りそう（食料が尽きて数十日間、死者三人）、初めて絶海の波濤の険しさを知った（魚の餌食になりそうになること数回）、深く将軍両名の恩を感じている（客は番人の酋長を皆大将と呼ぶ）
百本の柳の枝で打たれて血が飛び散る憐れさ（老いた羌族の罪人に歩兵百人が各々鞭を手にして輪になって打つ刑を命じた）、万燈が昼のように照らし新婚を見る（自国の寺院から沿道まで煌々と照らし、村全体が集まって観覧）、遠い異国の風俗も多く記憶している、艱難は語るに忍びない（転々と寄宿し食事をし、辛苦を十分に味わった）
二 合同国の人
鰲を打ち船を修理して東に向かう（船は南のチュクチ島から出発）、出会ったからには結局は骨肉の情となった（一見して旧知のよう）
九泉での再会を期して愁いに沈み（別れ際の悲しみに沈んだ約束）、心を込めて孤島で余生を託す（諸島を周旋する三乙島）

Listening to the castaway Jirōkichi's story, recorded in poetry (On the 14th day of the 2nd month of Boshin year, Mr. Ishikawa brought guests to visit. Messrs. Yamada of Senju, Gotō Gorōkawa, Ikeda and others also gathered, exchanging sake and listening to tales. It was very pleasant and we dispersed after nightfall)
One Fortunately, I alone survived (Of ten who left the country, only half remain alive now), looking back on those times makes my soul fade away (Without food for dozens of days, three people died), I first learned the danger of the ocean waves (Nearly becoming fish food several times), I deeply feel the kindness of the two generals (The guest calls all the native chiefs "generals")
The pitiable sight of being beaten with a hundred willow branches until blood spatters (An elderly Qiang criminal was ordered to be beaten in rotation by a hundred foot soldiers, each holding a whip), ten thousand lanterns illuminate like daylight to witness a wedding (From their temples to the roadways brightly lit, the whole village gathered to watch), I remember many customs of that distant foreign land, the hardships are too painful to speak of (Moving from lodging to lodging for meals, fully experiencing bitter suffering)
Two People of the United States
Hunting whales and repairing boats heading east (The ship departed from Chukchi Island in the south), having met, we ultimately became like flesh and blood (Like old friends at first sight)
Expecting to meet again in the afterlife, sinking in sorrow (The promise made in parting sadness), earnestly entrusting the remainder of life on a lonely island (The Sannotsu Islands where one travels around)
