I'll lay all the boards I can find on the raft first, and then I'll think about what I need. I opened the box for three crew members, emptied the contents and hung them on the raft one by one. In the first box, I mainly packed food: grain, bread, rice, three pieces of Dutch cheese, five pieces of dried mutton, and some leftover European wheat-originally used to feed the poultry on board. Now all the poultry are dead. There was a little barley and wheat on board, but I was very disappointed to find that they were all eaten up or stained by mice. As for alcohol, I also found several boxes, all of which belonged to the captain. There are several bottles of liqueur and five or six gallons of coconut wine in it. I put the wine aside because there is no need to put it in the box, and the box is full. Just as I was as busy as a bee, I saw the tide begin to rise. Although it was calm, I still washed away all the coats, shirts and vests left on the shore. This made me very depressed, because when I was swimming on the boat, I only wore a pair of knee-length linen shorts and socks. This forced me to find some clothes to wear. There are many clothes on board, but I only choose a few to wear at present, because I think some things are more important, especially woodworking tools. I searched for a long time and finally found the carpenter's box. At this time, tools are the most important to me. Even the whole ship's gold is not as valuable as this box of carpenter's tools. I put the box on the raft and didn't want to take the time to open it because I knew what tools were in it. Secondly, I must get guns and ammunition. There used to be two excellent shotguns and two pistols in the big cabin. I took them both with me, as well as some horn barrels full of gunpowder, a small bag of bullets and two rusty old knives. I know there are still three barrels of gunpowder on board, but I don't know where the gunman put it. I searched for it for a long time and finally found it. Two barrels are still dry and can be used, and the other barrel has been soaked. I put two barrels of dry powder and a gun on the raft. At this time, I found a lot of things on the raft, so I began to think about how to transport it ashore, because there is no sail, paddle and rudder, as long as there is a little wind, the raft will be overturned in the sea. There were three encouraging things at that time: first, the sea was as calm as a mirror; Second, when the tide is high, the seawater rushes to the shore; Third, although there is a breeze, it also blows to the shore. I found three broken oars used on the original ship; Besides the tools in the toolbox, two saws, an axe and a head were found. I took a shotgun, a pistol and a dime of gunpowder and walked to the top of that mountain. After all the hardships, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain; Looking around, I feel very sad. It turns out that I am on an island surrounded by the sea. Looking around, I can't see a piece of land, only a few isolated reefs in the distance; Then there are two smaller islands in the west, about 15 nautical miles. I also found that the island is desolate, and it looks deserted, only wild animals haunt it. But so far, I haven't met any wild animals, but I have seen countless birds, but I can't tell what they are, and I don't know if the meat after being killed is delicious. On the way back, I saw a big bird parked in a tree near the big forest and killed it. I believe that for the first time since God created the world, someone shot at this island. As soon as the gunfire rang, countless birds flew out of the whole forest, all kinds of birds sang noisily, and their call signs were beaten at sixes and sevens, but I couldn't call out one. The bird I killed looked like an eagle from its coat color and mouth, but it had no claws, and its meat was sour and rotten, which was useless at all. So, every day when the tide ebbs, I get on the boat and bring something back. Especially for the third time, I took out all the thick and thin ropes on board, and also brought a spare sail-mending canvas; I even brought back that bucket of wet gunpowder. In a word, I took all the sails off the ship, but I cut them into pieces and took as much as I could at a time, because now I need canvas instead of sails. But what makes me most gratified is that after running like this for five or six times, I thought there was nothing worth searching on the boat, but I found a big barrel of bread, three barrels of sugarcane wine, a box of sugar and a barrel of refined flour. This is really a windfall, because I thought there would be no food except those soaked in water. I immediately poured out a big bucket of bread, wrapped it in pieces of cut canvas and transported it safely to the shore. The next day, I went to the boat again. At this time, I saw that all the things I could carry and carry easily were taken away by me. So I began to take the anchor cable from the ship. I cut the anchor cable into many small pieces for easy handling. First of all, I don't think the place I live now is suitable. One is because it is too close to the sea, the terrain is low and wet, and it is unsanitary; Second, there is no fresh water nearby. I have to find a sanitary and convenient place to build my own residence. According to my own situation, I have drawn up several conditions for choosing a residence: first, as I said above, it must be sanitary and have fresh water; Second, you must be able to shade the sun; Third, we must be able to avoid sudden attacks by wild animals or humans; Fourth, I should be able to see the sea. If God lets any ship pass by, I won't lose the chance to escape, because I always have a glimmer of hope that I can get rid of the current predicament sooner or later. According to the above conditions, I went to find a suitable place and found a flat land beside a hillside. The hillside near the ground is steep and straight, just like a wall, and neither man nor beast can attack me from there. On the rock, there is a sunken place that looks like the entrance of a cave, but there is no cave in it. There is a flat meadow in front of this depression, so I decided to pitch my tent here. This flat land is not more than 100 yards wide and less than 200 yards long. If a house is set up, this flat grass is like a turf, which extends outward from the main entrance to form a gentle slope until it reaches the lowlands by the sea. This is the northwest direction of the mountain, which just blocks the sun during the day. When the sun turns to the southwest and shines here, it will soon set. Before putting up the tent, I drew a semicircle in front of the stone wall, with a radius of about ten yards and a diameter of twenty yards. Along this semicircle, I inserted two rows of strong wooden stakes; The stake was driven into the soil like a nail, with its head down, about 5.5 feet high and its top sharp. The distance between the two rows of stakes is less than six inches. Then, I used the cable cut off from the ship, layered between two rows of stakes along the semicircle until the top, and then inserted some stakes two and a half feet high to support the cable, just like the horizontal tea on the pillar. This fence is so strong that neither man nor beast can rush in or climb over it. This project took me a lot of time and labor, especially I had to cut thick branches from the forest to make stakes, then transport them to the grass and drive them into the soil one by one. This work is particularly laborious and time-consuming. As for the entrance and exit of the residence, I didn't make a door on the fence, but turned in from the top of the fence with a short ladder, and then put the ladder away after I went in. In this way, I am protected on all sides, completely isolated from the outside world, and I can sit back and relax at night. However, I later found that there is no need to be so alert to the enemy I am worried about. I made great efforts to move all my belongings, all my food, ammunition, weapons and supplies to the fence or to this fortress one by one. I set up a big tent for myself to keep out the rain, because it often rains cats and dogs here at this time of year. I made a double tent; That is to say, a small one inside, a big one outside, and a big tent with a big tarpaulin on top. Of course, I brought a tarpaulin when I collected the canvas on the boat. Now I no longer sleep in the bed I moved ashore, but in a hammock, which was originally the first mate of the ship and was of good quality. I moved the grain and everything that might be damaged by moisture into the tent. After finishing this work, block the entrance and exit of the fence. Then, as mentioned above, I used a short ladder to climb over the fence and get in and out. After all this work, I began to make holes in the rock wall again, transported the excavated earth and stone from the tent to the outside, and piled up a platform along the fence, about a foot high. In this way, the tent is my house and the cave behind the house becomes my cellar. These tasks were time-consuming and laborious, but they were finally completed one by one. Now, I go back and recall a few other things that made me take great pains. Just as I was about to set up my tent to build a cave, suddenly, dark clouds were gathering, it rained cats and dogs, and there was lightning and thunder. When the lightning thundered, an idea flashed through my mind like lightning, which surprised me more than the lightning itself: "Oh, my gunpowder!" " "When I thought that a thunderbolt would blow up all my gunpowder, I was almost completely desperate. Because I not only rely on gunpowder to defend myself, but also rely on it to hunt for a living. At that time, I only thought about gunpowder. I didn't think that once the gunpowder exploded, I would be finished. If the gunpowder really exploded, I don't even know who died. This storm has left me with a lingering fear. Therefore, I put aside all other work, including setting up tents and building fences. As soon as the rain stopped, I immediately set about making some small bags and boxes, and divided the gunpowder into many small bags. This way, even if something happens, it won't blow up completely. I store the powder in separate packages to prevent one package from catching fire and endangering the other. I spent two weeks on this work. There are about 240 pounds of gunpowder. I divided them into 100 packages. As for the bucket of tidal powder, I am not worried about any danger, so I put it in the newly opened cave; I nicknamed this cave my kitchen. I hid the remaining gunpowder in the cracks of the stone to prevent it from getting wet, and carefully marked the storage place. During the two weeks of packing and storing gunpowder, I took out my gun at least once a day. This can achieve three purposes: first, it can distract your attention; Secondly, you can hunt something to eat; Third, you can also learn about the products on the island. The first time I went out, I found many goats on the island, which was very satisfying. But I also found that this is not a good thing for me. Because these goats are timid, cunning and fast, they are really difficult to get close to. But I am not discouraged. I believe there is always a way to catch one. Soon I really killed one. I first found out where the goats were, so I ambushed them to get my prey. I killed a female goat and one of her lambs followed me home. Later, I killed her, too, because she refused to eat. 1 1 month 1 day, I set up a tent at the foot of the mountain. I made it as big as possible and put some stakes in it to hang the hammock. The first night I slept in a tent. 1 1 February 2, I piled all the boxes, boards and wood used to make rafts into a semi-circular temporary fence as my fortifications. 1 1 On March 3rd, I went out with a gun and killed two birds like a wild duck. The meat was delicious, and I began to make the table in the afternoon. 1 1 On the morning of April 4th, I began to plan the time. It stipulates working hours, going out with guns, sleeping time and entertainment time. My plan is this: every morning, if it doesn't rain, I will go out with a gun for two or three hours, and then I will work until around eleven o'clock; Then, eat whatever you have; 12 to 2 o'clock is the nap time, because it is extremely hot here; Start work at night. I will spend all my working time making tables today and tomorrow. At present, I am still a poor craftsman, and it takes a lot of time to make something. But I soon became a skilled worker. Too much practice makes perfect, on the other hand, it is forced. I believe anyone can do this. Today, 1 1 May 5th, I went out with a gun and a dog. Killed a wild cat with soft fur but inedible meat. Every time I kill any animal, I peel off the fur and keep it. When I came back from the seaside, I saw all kinds of waterfowl, but I couldn't name them. I was surprised to see two or three seals. When I first saw them, I didn't know what animals they were. Then they swam to the sea. This time, they escaped from under my nose. 1 1 On the morning of June 6, I went out and continued to make the table. I finally finished it, but it looked ugly and I was not satisfied. Soon, I managed to improve the table again.
