Observe the ship driven further aground by the late storm-procure a vast quantity of necessaries from the wreck-catch a large turtle-I fall ill of a fever and ague-terrible dream, and serious reflections thereupon -find a Bible in one of the seamen's chests thrown ashore, the reading whereof gives me great comfort.
Reflections-an extraordinary dream-discover five canoes of savages on shore-observe from my station two miserable wretches dragged out of the boats to be devoured-one of them makes his escape, and runs directly towards me, pursued by two others-I take measures so as to destroy his pursuers, and save his life-christen him by the name of Friday, and he becomes a faithful and excellent servant. pp. 212-228
