In September 1659 I left Brazil for Africa with ten other men.

It was very hot and

the weather was good. But ten days later there was a great storm and our ship
started sinking. I found myself in the cold hostile water. The sea played with me
for a very long time and eventually, it left me on the beach. I was very tired and ill.
I didn’t know where the other men were.

The sea got quiet then. I had nothing with me- no food, no tools, no gun, and no
knife. Fortunately, I saw our ship in the distance. It was half-sunk. I swam to the
ship and found many important things there: food and drink, guns and knives, pens
and paper, money, clothes, books. I built a small boat and made eleven journeys
between the beach and the ship. Then the storm started again and I stayed on land.

The wind and rain were strong all night. The next morning I couldn’t see the ship.
It was under the water with my ten friends.

I was on the island alone. I had to survive somehow, so I found a place for my
home and made a tent in the cave. I cut down young trees and built a strong wall
round my home to protect myself from wild animals. I had two rooms in my home.
I lived and slept in the tent and used the cave for food and water.

There was rain every day from the middle of August to the middle of October. I
couldn’t leave my home because the rain was rather heavy but I was busy.

The end of September was a sad day for me. One year on the island. One year with
no people and no talking. I was very quiet and sad all the day.

Then one day I went to the beach and saw something strange. It was a man’s
footprints. How was it possible? I walked up and down the beach and looked at the
mark again. Strange ideas occurred to me. Was there a man in the trees? Who was
on my island?

I stayed in my house for three days. I couldn’t sleep. Were there other people on
the island?

Listen and try to guess what event is described here, where the hero is and what is
happening.

Nothing can describe the confusion of thought which I felt when I sank into the
water; for though I swam very well, yet I could not deliver myself from the waves
so as to draw breath, till that wave having driven me, or rather carried me, a vast
way on towards the shore, and having spent itself, went back, and left me upon the
land almost dry, but half dead with the water I took in. I had so much presence of
mind, as well as breath left, that seeing myself nearer the mainland than I expected,
I got upon my feet, and endeavor
I was on the island urged to make on towards the land as fast as I could before
another wave should return and take me up again; but I soon found it was
impossible to avoid it; for I saw the sea come after me as high as a great hill, and
as furious as an enemy, which I had no means or strength to contend with: my
business was to hold my breath, and raise myself upon the water if I could; and so,
by swimming, to preserve my breathing, and pilot myself towards the shore, if
possible, my greatest concern now being that the sea, as it would carry me a great
way towards the shore when it came on, might not carry me back again with it
when it gave back towards the sea
