“
Upon this he sign'd to me, that he should bury them with Sand, that they might not be seen by the rest if they follow'd; and so I made Signs again to him to do so; he fell to Work, and in an instant he had scrap'd a Hole in the Sand, with his Hands, big enough to bury the first in, and then dragg'd him into it, and cover'd him, and did so also by the other; I believe he had bury'd them both in a Quarter of an Hour; then calling him away, I carry'd him not to my Castle, but quite away to my Cave, on the farther Part of the Island; so I did not let my Dream come to pass in that Part, viz. That he came into my Grove for shelter. 去书内

    Upon this, he signaled to me that he intended to bury them in the sand to prevent them from being discovered if anyone else followed. I responded by gesturing for him to do so. He immediately began to work, quickly digging a hole in the sand with his hands, large enough to accommodate the first body. He then dragged it into the hole and covered it, repeating the process with the second body. I estimated that he had buried both of them within a quarter of an hour. Afterward, I led him away, not to my castle, but to my cave on the far side of the island. In this way, I ensured that my dream did not come to pass in that specific manner—he did not seek shelter in my grove.
