Robinson Crusoe fragment
1632, I was born in an upper-class family in York. We are not locals. Father is

Bremen, Germany After he moved to England, he first lived in Hull. After he made a fortune in business, he took over the business. Finally,

I moved to York and married my mother there. My mother's maiden name is Robinson, and she is a famous local family.

Noble family, so I was named Robinson kreuz. Just as the British read "kreuz".

German surnames are pronounced differently, so that people call us "Croso" and even we call ourselves that.

That's what it says. So, my friends call me Croso.

I have two older brothers. Eldest brother is a lieutenant colonel of the British Infantry Regiment in Flanders. The famous Colonel Lockhart once

Lead this group. Eldest brother was killed fighting the Spanish near Dunkirk. As for the second brother's

I still know nothing about my whereabouts, just as my parents know nothing about my later situation.

I am the youngest son in my family, and my parents didn't let me learn the craft of making a living, so I like to think wildly since I was a child.

Yes, I am bent on traveling abroad. At that time, my father was old, but he still taught well.

Education. He once sent me to a boarding school and let me go to a free school to receive compulsory education in the countryside, wholeheartedly.

Want me to study law in the future. But I'm not interested in anything but sailing.

I completely ignored my father's wishes, even disobeyed his orders, completely ignored my mother's entreaties and my friends' discouragement.

This nature of mine seems to be doomed to my unfortunate fate in the future.

My father is both clever and cautious. It was just the right time for him to foresee that my intention would inevitably bring me misfortune.

He often enlightens me seriously and gives me many useful suggestions. One morning, he called me into his bedroom;

Because, at that time, he just had a gout attack and was inconvenient to move. He gave me a very serious advice. He asked.

Besides satisfying my hobby of roaming the world, I have no reason to abandon my parents and leave home.

What about the countryside? In my hometown, I can gain a foothold in the society through introduction. If I work hard on my own, I will be finished in the future.

Everyone can get rich and live a comfortable and happy life. He told me that people who start businesses abroad are not poor.

Being penniless is the delusion of getting rich; They are ambitious and want to be famous for their extraordinary career. But for me,

Generally speaking, it is neither worthwhile nor necessary to do so. As far as my social status is concerned, it is just between the two.

The so-called middle position. Judging from his long-term experience, this is the best class in the world.

Status can also make people happy. They don't have to do hard physical labor like the lower classes, and live as usual.

Nothing; Nor will they be exhausted by arrogance, extravagance, ambition and fighting with each other like those in the upper class.

He said, I can learn from the following facts that life in the middle position is really extremely happy; this is

Yes, everyone envies this position, and many emperors lament the unfortunate consequences of their noble birth.

I wish I was born in a middle class between poverty and nobility. Smart people also prove that middle-class people

Can get real happiness. The wise men in the Bible also prayed: "Make me neither poor nor rich."

He reminded me that as long as you observe carefully, you will find that people in the upper and lower classes are troubled and helpless.

There are the least disasters between classes. The life of the middle class will not be as ups and downs as the upper class and the lower class.

Humiliation is changing rapidly. And the middle position will not be destroyed by profligacy and corruption like the rich.

Heart disease; Nor will it be as haggard as the poor because they work all day and have no food and clothing. Only in the middle

People with status can enjoy happiness and comfort on earth. Middle-class people live a stable and prosperous life all the year round. Enough is enough,

Moderation, self-denial, health and tranquility, making friends and entertainment, and all kinds of fun in life are the blessings of the middle class.

This way of life makes people calm and happy, live a contented life, and will not suffer from fatigue. he

Children don't have to work for their daily livelihood, or are forced by a dilemma, so that they are hurt and troubled; And I won't attack my heart with jealousy,

Or manic because of greed. Middle-class people can live their lives in peace and enjoy life to the fullest.

Sweet, without any hardship; They feel happy, and as time goes on, they get deeper and deeper.

To realize this happiness.

Then, he sincerely and lovingly advised me not to be childish and not to rush to ask for trouble; because

Because, no matter from human nature or from my family background, I won't suffer. He said,

I don't have to work hard for my daily livelihood. He will make all the arrangements for me and try his best to make me live as I said before.

Life of the middle class. If I can't live a comfortable and happy life in the world, it's my destiny.

It's still my own fault. He has done his duty. Because he saw what I was going to do

However, it will bring me pain, so someone advised me. Anyway, he promised that if I listened to him.

If so, just stay at home and he will try his best to arrange it for me. He never allows me to go too far from home. if

Don't blame him if anything happens to me in the future. At the end of the conversation, he added, I should put my eldest brother first.

The lesson of cars. He also earnestly advised eldest brother not to go to Flanders to fight, but he wouldn't listen.

Suggestions. At that time, he was young and energetic, and he decided to serve in the army. As a result, he lost his life on the battlefield. he

He also told me that of course he would always pray for me, but if I insisted on taking this stupid action, then,

He dares to say that God will not bless me. When I have no help in the future, I will regret not listening to him.

Suggestions.

In hindsight, my father's last words became my later predictions; Of course, I believe me.

Father himself may not have realized this foresight at that time. I noticed that when my father said these words,

Tears welled up in my eyes, especially when he talked about my eldest brother's corpse battlefield. I regretted calling for help later.

I was so sad that I had to interrupt his conversation. Finally, he told me that he was too worried to speak.

Yes

I was deeply moved by this conversation. Really, who will be indifferent to such words? I am determined not to do so.

I want to go abroad, but I listen to my father's wishes and stay at home. But, my God! Just a few days later,

I put my determination behind me. To put it simply, in order not to let my father pester me again, I am

I haven't seen him for several weeks after that conversation. However, I'm in no hurry, unlike

I used to do whatever I wanted when my head was hot, and I went to see my mother when she was in a better mood. I am interested in her.

Say, I want to go out and see the outside world and do nothing else. Father had better promise me,

Before I run away without permission. I said, I am eighteen years old, whether I am an apprentice or a paralegal.

It is too late. Moreover, I absolutely believe that even if I go to be an apprentice or an assistant, I won't wait until I am a teacher.

You will run away from your master and go sailing. If she can intercede with my father, let him promise to give me a ride.

If I feel that I don't like sailing when I get home, I will redouble my efforts to make up for what I have done.

Wasting time.

My mother lost her temper at my words. She told me that she knew it was useless to tell her father such a thing.

Location. My father is well aware of the stakes in this matter and will never allow me to do anything to hurt myself.

She also said that my father's conversation with me was so serious and convincing that I actually wanted to travel far from home. This is.

She's really hard to understand. She said, in a word, if I insist on finding my own way, no one will come to help.

Me. She wants me to believe that neither my mother nor my father will allow me to travel abroad, so if I

Suicide has nothing to do with her, lest I later say that my father didn't agree at that time and my mother did.

Meaning.

Although my mother refused my request face to face and said she didn't want to convey my words to her father, I later

I heard that she still told her father exactly what we talked about. Father is very worried. He told his mother.

Qin sighed and said that if children can stay at home, they may be very happy; But if he wants to go overseas, he will.

Will be the most unfortunate person in the world, so he can't allow me to go out.

After a year, I finally ran away from home. During this year, despite repeated suggestions from my family,

I do some business, but I am stubborn and don't listen to anything. Instead, I always pester my parents to ask.

Don't object to the child's wishes like that. One day, I came to Hull by accident. I didn't have a private life at that time.

The idea of running away from home. But there, I met a friend. He said he would go to London by his father's boat,

Encourage me to go with them. He told me that I didn't have to pay the fare in the usual attractive way for sailors.

Expenses. At this time, I neither discussed with my parents nor sent them messages. I think they will after I leave.

Hearing the news. At the same time, I didn't pray to God, I didn't ask my father for blessing, and I didn't even think about it.

The situation at that time and the future consequences boarded a ship bound for London. The time is 165 1 September.

One day. Who knows now is not the time! I believe that no young man who goes out for adventure will be like me.

It's bad luck to go out, and it's hard to get rid of it for so long As soon as our ship sailed out of the Humbil River, it exploded.

When there is a strong wind, the wind helps the waves, which is really scary. Because when I first went out to sea, people felt extremely sad, and at the same time,

Scared to death. At this time, I began to regret what I had done. I, an unfilial son, betrayed my father.

Mom, God punished me so quickly because I didn't perform my duty. What a godsend.

At this time, my parents' advice, my father's tears and my mother's prayers flooded into my mind. I am bright

After all, my heart is not exhausted, and I can't help blaming myself: I shouldn't refuse to listen to other people's opinions and turn my back on God and God.

Father's duty.

At this time, the storm is blowing harder and harder, the sea is surging and the waves are sky-high. I have never seen such a scene.

But compared with the roaring sea I saw many times later, it was really a drop in the ocean; Just stay with me for a few days

After seeing the scene, I can't compare it. However, for a young man who was sailing for the first time,

It scares me enough, because I know nothing about sailing. I think, the Haihengbier River, again.

Humber River rises in central England and flows into the North Sea.

The waves will swallow us up at any moment. Every time our ship gets caught in a whirlpool, I feel that we will capsize and sink at any time.

The bottom of the sea can no longer float. In this fear, I vowed again and again that I would get off the bus.

Countless times, I made up my mind to say that if God lets me live on this voyage, as long as I set foot on land, I will.

I'll go back to my father at once, and I'll never go to sea by boat again in my life. I will follow my father's advice, and then

Don't bother yourself. At the same time, I also realized that my father's view of middle class life is true.

This sentence is reasonable. Take my father for example. He lives a safe and comfortable life, and has never encountered violent waves at sea.

Nor did they work hard on land. I am determined to go home like a real prodigal son.

Go back to my father.

These wise and sober ideas were destroyed during the storm, even a short time after it stopped.

Hovering in my mind. The next day, the storm passed and the sea was much calmer. I was open to life at sea.

I'm used to it. But I'm still sad all day; Coupled with some seasickness, it is even more frustrating.

In the evening, the weather cleared completely and the wind stopped completely, followed by a beautiful and lovely golden faint.

It was sunny that night and the next morning, and the sunset and sunrise were beautiful. At this time, the sun shines on the calm sea.

On the quiet sea, it is refreshing. That is the beauty I have never seen before.

I slept soundly that night, so I didn't get seasick the next day, and I was refreshed. look into the future

It is incredible that the roaring sea suddenly becomes so calm and soft. That sentence

The friend who lured me aboard came to see me, lest I really make up my mind not to sail again. "Hello, Bob," he patted.

Pat me on the shoulder and say, "How do you feel now? I said, the breeze that night must have scared you.

Okay? ""You say it's as easy as blowing off dust? " I said, "This is a terrible storm!" "The storm? You idiot

Melon, "he replied," do you call that a storm? That's nothing! As long as the ship is stable and the sea is wide, like

We don't care about such a little wind at all. Of course, it's no wonder that it's your first time at sea, Bob. Come on,

Let's drink a bowl of liqueur and forget all those things! Look, what a beautiful day! "I don't want to elaborate.

This sad thing.

In a word, we followed the way of life of ordinary sailors and made sweet wine. I was so drunk.

I'm loaded. That night, I drank to my heart's content and regretted and reflected on my past behavior and my future.

All the decisions have been thrown out of the window. In short, after the storm, the sea was as calm as a mirror, and I

The messy thoughts in my mind were swept away, and the fear of being swallowed up by the sea disappeared. I am keen on sailing.

The desire of the sea came back to me. I forgot all my resolutions and vows when I was in danger.

Sometimes, I also find that those confessions and resolutions will be recalled from time to time. But I tried to get rid of it.

Cheer up, son, as if you want to cheer up from some bad mood. Therefore, I

Just drinking and fooling around with sailors. Soon, I controlled my impulse and stopped those serious people.

The idea reappeared. In less than five or six days, I was fighting like those young people who wanted to get rid of conscience.

Conquer conscience. To this end, I am doomed to suffer new disasters. God saw that I didn't repent and decided not to forgive.

Punish me properly. It's entirely my own fault. There is no excuse. Because I didn't spend the peacetime myself,

The first disaster was God's salvation for me, and the next disaster will be even worse. At that time, even

The most ferocious, insidious and daring sailors on board should also be afraid and ask for mercy.

On the sixth day at sea, we arrived at Yarmouth anchorage. Our ship didn't sail much after the big storm.

On the way, although it was sunny, there was always a headwind, so we had to anchor at this sea.

The headwind blew for seven or eight days, and the wind came from the southwest. During this period, many people came from Newcastle.

All the ships are anchored in this open anchorage, because this is the only port where the sea passes, and all the ships are here.

My son waited for the downwind and sailed into the Yale River.

We shouldn't stay here too long. We should sail into the estuary by the tide. But the wind is blowing too hard,

After stopping for four or five days, the wind became stronger. But this anchorage has always been regarded as a good port, plus our anchor.

Very strong, the ship's anchor cables, pulleys, cable tents and other equipment are very strong, so the sailors are very strong against strong winds.

They don't care, they are not afraid at all, and they still rest and play according to their own way of life. By the morning of the eighth day

In the morning, the wind suddenly increased. So all the crew mobilized, set sail together and rowed the boat.

Everything is arranged so that the ship can withstand the strong wind and anchor safely. At noon, the sea rolled up.

Our bow dived into the water several times and got a lot of water. Once or twice, we thought we lost our anchor because

At this point, the captain ordered to put down the spare anchor. In this way, we put two anchors in the bow and put the anchor cable to the longest.

The limit.

At this time, the storm was terrible, and I saw that even the sailors' faces were frightened. boat

Although the captain was cautious and tried to protect his ship, he passed my cabin when he went in and out of his cabin.

Out of date, I heard him mutter to himself several times, "God, have pity on us! We can't live! we

It's over! "He said a lot of such things. In the initial confusion, I was at a loss, just

Lying motionless in my cabin-my cabin was at the bow, and I can't describe the feeling at that time. most

At first, I didn't repent like the first time, but became insensitive. I thought the pain of death

In the past, this storm will pass like last time. But as I said before, when the captain passed my cabin,

It scares me to say that we are all going to die. I walked out of my hut and looked out, only to see everywhere.

Desolate; I have never seen such a tragic scene: the waves on the sea are huge and come at us every three or four minutes.

Looking around again, the situation is even worse. We found that two ships were parked near us because

The cargo was so heavy that the masts beside the ship were cut off. Suddenly, the people on our boat exclaimed. Initially stopped at

A ship sank about a nautical mile ahead of us. The other two ships were blown off the anchor by the strong wind and had to take risks.

I left the anchorage and sailed for the sea, leaving no mast on board. The situation of the ship is the best, because

In order to make the ship easy to sail at sea. But there are also two or three ships that have been blown by the wind and passed by our side. On the boat,

Only the horn sail stayed and floated to the sea.

In the evening, the first mate and the boatswain begged the captain to cut off the foremast; Of course, the captain is absolutely unwilling to do so.

But the boatswain protested that if the captain did not agree to cut off the foremast, the ship would sink. In this way, the captain had to answer.

Yes But as soon as the foremast of the ship was cut down, the main mast shook out of control with the wind, and the ship shook violently.

So they had to cut off the main mast. This only leaves an empty deck.

Anyone can imagine my mood at that time. Because I am just a young man sailing for the first time, not long ago.

The second small storm scared me half to death, what's more, this time I really met a big storm. At this moment, when I write down

Describe my mood at that time, feeling that I was afraid of death at that time, and even more afraid of thinking about my own violations.

Recalling his recent confession and making all kinds of resolutions again as in the previous crisis, this

This fear is worse than my fear of death. In that case, plus the horror of the storm, that kind of heart

Even now, I can't describe it with words. But the scene was not the worst! worse

Even the sailors themselves admit that they have never encountered such a violent storm in their lives.

Storm. Although our ship is strong, it has been swaying violently in the water because of the heavy cargo and the deep water.

Bobo, only the sailors shouted from time to time that the ship was going to sink. At that time, I didn't know what "Shen" meant.

It's also good for me. I won't understand until I ask someone else The wind and waves are more fierce at this time, I think.

Things that are rarely seen at ordinary times: the captain, the boatswain, and other people with brains are constantly.

They prayed devoutly and felt that the ship was in danger of sinking at any time. In the middle of the night, the disaster is even greater. Those who arrived on the ship

Among the people who went to check under the cabin, suddenly a man ran up and shouted: the bottom of the ship is leaking; Then another one appeared.

The sailor ran up and said that the water was four feet deep. So the whole ship was called to pump water. I listen

When the bottom of the boat leaked, I felt my heart suddenly stop beating; I sit in my cabin.

At the bedside, I suddenly felt that I couldn't support it any longer and fell into the cabin. At this time, someone woke me up and said that I

I used to do nothing, but now I can at least help pump water. Hearing this, I immediately cheered and came.

Go to the pump and work very hard. While everyone was pumping water, the captain found several small coal boats.

Because it can't stand the wind and waves, it has to drift to the sea with the wind; When they passed us, the captain gave the order.

Shoot as a signal for help. I don't know why I shot, and I was shocked to hear the gunshots.

Because the ship broke down or something terrible happened. In a word, I was so scared that I fainted by the pump.

At this time, everyone only cares about their own lives. Some people will care about my life, and no one will care.

Look what happened to me. Another person immediately came up to pump water instead of me; He kicked me when he came up.

Kick aside and let me lie there. He must think I'm dead. It took me a long time to wake up.

We kept pumping water, but there was more and more water in the bilge. Obviously, our ship will sink soon.

At this time, although the wind is slightly weak, it is definitely impossible for the ship to sail into the harbor. The captain had to keep shooting.

Save. There was a lightweight boat drifting in front of us, so he risked putting down a boat to save us.

The people in the boat approached our big ship at great risk, but we couldn't get on their boat.

They can't get near our big ship. Finally, the people on board paddled desperately and risked their lives to save each other; We started from

Throw a rope with a buoy at the stern as long as possible. After several efforts, the people on board finally

Grab the rope. We slowly towed the boat near the stern before the crew got off. At this moment,

We can't go back to their boat. Everyone agrees to let the boat go with the flow and try to

Row off the coast. Our captain promised that if the ship ran into rocks on the shore, he would pay compensation to their captain at the price.

In this way, the boat rowed and drifted, gradually drifting to the north shore, and finally approaching winter.

Point.

Less than a quarter of an hour after leaving the ship, we saw it sink. At this time, I understood for the first time in my life.

What is the sinking of the sea? To tell the truth, when the sailors told me that the ship was sinking, I hardly dared.

Look up. It was not so much that I climbed out of the boat as that the sailors threw me into it.

Boat. From the moment I got off the boat, my heart died; On the one hand, it was frightened by the storm, on the other hand,

The face became confused and frightened at the thought of murder.

Although we were in danger, the sailors struggled to paddle to the shore. When the ship was washed up on the waves, I

We can already see the coast, and there are many people running around the shore, trying to help me when our ship comes ashore.

Kid. But the speed of the boat is so slow that it can't reach the shore at all. Finally, we passed the Winterton lamp.

Tower. From here, the coast sags westward and extends to cromer. In this way, the land blocked a little wind, and we finally

It took a lot of effort to reach the shore. After all the people landed safely, they walked to Yarmouth. We who suffer.

Some people were warmly received by local officials, wealthy businessmen and ship owners. They arranged our accommodation properly, but also for

We raised enough money for the trip. We can go to London or go back to Hull at will.

At that time, if I had any brains, I should go back to Hull and go home.

I will be very happy. My father will also kill people like the figurative father mentioned in Jesus' sermon.

The fat cow greeted me with a prodigal son. Because, my family heard that my boat was wrecked at Yarmouth anchorage.

Sink, and then it took a long time to know that I didn't die in the fish's stomach.

But my bad luck is not over yet. It forces me to repent with an irresistible force. Several times, before I

When I am cool-headed, my reason calls to me to go home, but I don't have the courage to listen.

Call. I don't know, and I don't want to know what to call this force that drives me to be stubborn, but it is a kind of

A mysterious and inescapable fate; It often drives us to find our own way out, knowing that disaster is coming, or since

Trap. Obviously, it is this fate that makes me doomed to be unable to get rid of bad luck. This is the fate.

Driven, I disobeyed the call of reason and didn't even want to learn from the two disasters I encountered on my first voyage.

My friend, the captain's son, made me make up my mind to board his father's boat, and now I have the courage.

On the contrary, he is younger than me. At that time, we were placed in several places in Yarmouth, so two,

He met me three days later. As I said just now, this is the first time we have met since we parted ashore. As soon as we pay.

Chatting, I found his tone changed. He looks depressed and shakes his head from time to time. He asked me about my proximity.

Situation and introduce me to his father. He said to his father, this is my first voyage. I'm just trying.

I want to travel abroad in the future.

Hearing this, his father said to me in a very serious and concerned tone: "Young man, you should stop sailing.

The sea disappeared. This disaster is a bad omen, which means that you can't become a sailor. "What is it, sir?" I asked, "

Don't you sail anymore? ""That's two different things, "he said." Sailing is my profession, so it's mine.

The responsibility of.

Although your voyage is just an attempt, God has already let you taste the sweetness. If you have another idea,

If you go your own way, you won't have a good result. Maybe we are in big trouble this time, because you are on our boat.

It's like Jonah boarding a boat for Tashkent. Excuse me, "the captain continued," who are you? What are you doing?

What happened on our boat? "So, I briefly talked to him about his life experience. After he listened to me,

Suddenly angry, indescribable. He said, "What did I do to get a disaster like you on board?

I'll never be in the same boat with you again. I won't do it for 1000! "I think this is because of the shipwreck.

The loss made him sad. He wanted to take it out on me. In fact, he has no right to lose his temper with me at all. can

Yes, and then he had a serious conversation with me, urging me to go back to my father and stop angering God.

Destroy yourself. He said, I should see that God won't let me go. "Young man," he said, "phase.

Believe me, if you don't go home, no matter where you go, you will only be miserable and disappointed. By then, your father's

Words will come true for you. "I was noncommittal about what he said and broke up with him soon. Never again

I have seen him, but I don't know his whereabouts. As for myself, I had some money in my pocket and left Shandong.

The road to London. On the way to London, and after I arrived in London, I have been having a fierce ideological struggle, no

Know what life path to choose: going home or sailing?

I feel ashamed at the thought of going home. I immediately thought of how my neighbors would laugh at me;

I am ashamed not only to meet my parents, but also to meet others. This incident often reminds me of the mood of ordinary people in the future

How ridiculous and so inexplicable; As usual, young people should especially listen to advice at this time.

Intellectual guidance. However, they are not ashamed of committing crimes, but are ashamed of repentance; They are not ashamed of doing stupid things,

Instead, I am ashamed that I have changed. In fact, if they can realize this, others will regard them as smart people.

After several days like this, my heart is very contradictory. I don't know where to go or what to do. But the thought of it

Going home, a sense of disgust arises spontaneously, which is hard to suppress. After some days, the memory of the disaster faded away.

Forgotten, the original wavering idea of going home has become more and more weak, and finally it has even been thrown outside the cloud nine. this

Well, I look forward to sailing again.

Not long ago, that evil force drove me to run away from home. I am young and ignorant, with dreams and delusions.

Made a fortune. This concept, ingrained, made me turn a deaf ear to all advice, begged, and was strict with my father.

Turn a deaf ear. I mean, now, whatever evil force it is,

I started the most unfortunate adventure. I set foot on a ship bound for the coast of Africa; With sailors

As the saying goes, go to Guinea!

I have never been a sailor on a ship in my previous adventures. This is my misfortune. Originally, I could

In order to work harder than usual, learn to do some work that ordinary sailors do. At a certain time, even if you can't build a boat.

Long, maybe you can be a first mate or an assistant to the captain or something. However, I am destined to succeed every time.

The worst choice, this time is no exception. With some money in my pocket and decent clothes, I just ...

As usual, I got on the boat as a gentleman. I never take part in anything on the boat, and I never study.

Do it.

I made good friends in London. This is my destiny again. This kind of good thing usually doesn't look like

A wild and misguided young man like me. The devil always sets traps for them early.

But not to me. From the beginning, I knew a captain. He has been to the coast of Guinea; There,

He made a good deal, so he decided to go again. He was interested in my conversation because at that time.

My speech may not be so annoying. When he heard me say he was going out to see the world, he said to me, if I want to.

If you go with him, you can take his boat for free, and you can be his partner and have dinner with him. If I wanted to.

By the way, he will tell me what can make the most money, so maybe I can make some money.

I can't ask for the captain's hospitality. I became close friends with him. The captain is sincere.

In fact, I got on his boat and brought some goods.

I made a lot of money because of my friend the captain's integrity and selflessness. Because, I listen to him,

I brought a batch of toys and other gadgets, which are worth about forty pounds. I depend on the help of some relatives to get the money.

I see. I wrote to them; I believe they told my father, or at least told my mother.

My father or mother paid the money, and then my relatives sent it to me as the capital for my first venture.

It can be said that this is the only successful voyage in my life adventure. This is all because of me.

The integrity and selflessness of the captain's friends. Under his guidance, I also learned some mathematical knowledge and methods of sailing.

Learned to keep a diary and observe astronomy. In a word, I learned some basic knowledge of being a sailor. He is very happy.

Teach me, and I'm happy to learn from him. In a word, this voyage made me a sailor and a businessman. This voyage

Ok, I brought back five pounds and nine ounces of gold sand; After I returned to London, I got back about 300 pounds and made a lot of money.

Money. This made me more complacent and ruined my life.
