May 24. Every Day to this Day I work'd on the Wreck, and with hard Labour I loosen'd some Things so much with the Crow, that the first blowing Tide several Casks floated out, and two of the Seamens Chests; but the Wind blowing from the Shore, nothing came to Land that Day, but Pieces of Timber, and a Hogshead which had some Brazil Pork in it, but the Salt-water and the Sand had spoil'd it.

五月二十四日几天来，我每天上破船干活。我费尽力气，用起货铁钩撬松了一些东西。潮水一来，竟有几只木桶和两只水手箱子浮了出来。由于风是从岸上吹来的，那天飘到岸上的东西只有几块木料和一桶巴西猪肉，但那肉早被咸水浸坏，且掺杂着泥沙，根本无法食用。
