《 《尸骨无存2》》

We were now on shore in China; if I thought myself banished, andremote from my own country at Bengal, where I had many ways to gethome for my money, what could I think of myself now, when I wasabout a thousand leagues farther off from home, and destitute ofall manner of prospect of return? All we had for it was this:that in about four months' time there was to be another fair at theplace where we were, and then we might be able to purchase variousmanufactures of the country, and withal might possibly find someChinese junks from Tonquin for sail, that would carry us and ourgoods whither we pleased. This I liked very well, and resolved towait; besides, as our particular persons were not obnoxious, so ifany English or Dutch ships came thither, perhaps we might have anopportunity to load our goods, and get passage to some other placein India nearer home. Upon these hopes we resolved to continuehere; but, to divert ourselves, we took two or three journeys intothe country.
