Just then we saw another boat,which was coming from the ship to the shore。 There were ten men in it,and they all had guns。 We ran into the trees and waited。

It was a long hard fight,but by now it was dark and this helped us very much。 We ran here and there in the trees,call…ing and shouting。 The seamen could not see us and did not know how many men they were fighting。 In the end the first officer shouted to them:

‘Put down your guns and stop fightng!The captain has fifty island people to help him。 We can kill you all!’

So the seamen stopped fighting and we took their guns。 Three of the men agreed to come back to the captain,and we put the others in my cave。 Friday and I stayed to watch the prisoners,while the captain and his men went back to fight for the ship。

All night we listened to the sound of guns and shouting,but in the morning,when the sun came up,the captain was master of his ship again。 I went down to the shore to meet him。 

‘My dear friend,’he cried,‘There's your ship!I'll take you to the ends of the world in it!’

I put my arms round him,and we laughed and cried together。 How happy I was to leave the ialand!

My good friend Friday came with me,of course,but we left the mutineers on the island。 We decided not to kill them;they could begin a new life on the island。 I showed them my three houses,my cornfields and my goats,and all my tools。 Their life would he easy because of all my hard work for so many years。

And so,on the nineteenth of December 1689…after twen…ty…seven years,two months and nineteen days…I said good…bye to my island and sailed home to England。

Home in England

 

When I came back to England,I felt like a stranger in the country。 Many things were different,and not many people remembered me。 I went home to York,but my fa…ther and mother were dead,and also my two brothers。 I did find the two sons of one of my brothers。 They were happy to learn that I was alive,and I was pleased to find some family。

After some months I decided to go down to Lisbon in Portu…gal。 I had friends there who could help me to sell my land in Brazil,and I needed the money。 Friday came with me。 He was always a good and true friend to me。 In Lisbon I found the Portuguese captain,who took me in his ship to Brazil,all those years ago。 It was good to see him again,and he helped me with my business。 Soon I was ready to go home again—by land。 No more adventures and dangers by sea for me!

It was a long,hard journey。 We had to cross the mountains between Spain and France in winter,and the snow was deep。 Poor Friday was very afraid of the snow。 In his country it was always hot,and he did not like cold weather。

Back in England I found a house and began to live a quiet life。 My two nephews came to live with me。 The younger one wanted to be a sailor,and so I found him a place on a ship。 Af…ter a while I married,and had three children,two sons and a daughter。 Then my wife died,and my nephew,who was now the captain of a ship,came home to see me。 He knew that I did not really like a quiet life。

‘I have a fine ship,uncle,’he said。 ‘I'm going out to the East Indies…India,Malaya,the Philippines…Why don't you come with me?’

And so,in 1694,I went to sea again,and had many more ad…ventures。 Perhaps one day I'll write another book about them。
