"While I wouldn't want anyone else hurt," Hú Lí says, "Surely those who survive on this island and are not as well armed as we are know better than to explore these wrecks. There is nothing left of this ship but rotting planks, not even a hull. Within a year it will be taken wholly by the waves. What has anyone to gain here? Treasure? Of what good is gold in a place like this? I don't like leaving this unfriendly presence here, but if it does not come out, it is no danger to us. Let us leave this place, and save our strength for more useful things."
