Master ⁠—You always fight the better; how came you to be taken prisoner, then, Friday?

Friday ⁠—My nation beat much for all that.

Master ⁠—How beat? If your nation beat them, how came you to be taken?

Friday ⁠—They more many than my nation, in the place where me was; they take one, two, three, and me: my nation over-beat them in the yonder place, where me no was; there my nation take one, two, great thousand.

Master ⁠—But why did not your side recover you from the hands of your enemies, then?

Friday ⁠—They run, one, two, three, and me, and make go in the canoe; my nation have no canoe that time.
