Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, and the Strange Surprising Accounts of His Travels Round Three Parts of the Globe Means to have gotten a Raft to carry them, or to have got ten the Raft on Shore without Boat or Sail and how much less should we have done, said he, if any of us had been alone? Well, I desir'd him to abate his Compliment, and go on with the His'tory of their coming on Shore, where they landed, he told me, they unhappily landed at a Place where there were People without Provisions; whereas had they had the common Sense to have put off to Sea again, and gone to another Island a little farther, they had found Provisions, tho' without People; there being an Island that Way, as they had been told, where there was Provisions, tho' no People; that is to say, That the Spaniards of Trinidad had frequently been there, and had fill'd the Island with Goats and Hogs at several Times; where they have bred in such Multitudes, and where Tur tle and sea-fowls were in such Plenty, that they could ha' been in no Want of Flesh, tho' they had found no Bread; whereas here, they were only suétain'd with a few Roots and Herbs, which they understood not, and which had no Substance in them, and which the Inhabitants gave them sparingly enough, and who could treat them no better, unless they would turn Canibals, and eat M ens Flesh, which was the great Dainty of their Country.
