It must be said that Robinson is a man with strong hands-on ability.
This raft is made quite sturdily.
It can also handle considerable weight.
Next, Robinson naturally considered what to put on it.
In addition, you have to prevent your things from getting wet by the waves.
It didn't take long for Robinson to come up with a solution.
He first laid out on the raft all the planks he could find on the boat, and then thought about what he would need.
Robinson found and opened three of the crew's chests, emptied them, and then hoisted them onto the raft one by one.
The first box was mainly filled with food, including some grain, bread, rice, three pieces of Dutch cheese, five pieces of mutton jerky, and some leftover European wheat.
The wheat was originally used to feed the poultry on the ship.
Now the poultry are dead.
There was some barley and wheat on board, but it was later discovered that it had been eaten or contaminated by rats.
Seeing the wheat destroyed by mice, Robinson was reminded of Tom the ship cat.
That guy didn't even catch mice on the boat, and he turned into a devil on the desert island.
It's really a headache.
This makes Robinson not optimistic about his future, and can be said to be quite pessimistic.
He was always worried that the devil Tom would suddenly rush over and eat him.
But out of his desire to live, although Robinson had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he did not stop his actions.
Soon, Robinson found some more wine.
He found several boxes.
Those are all the captain's.
There were several bottles of strong liqueurs and five or six gallons of coconut wine.
But Robinson put the wine aside because there was no need to put it in the box.
What's more, the box is already full.
He had been on board long enough.
While he was busy like this, he could see that the tide had begun to rise.
Although the sea was still calm, it still washed away all the coats, shirts and vests that Robinson had left on the shore.
Robinson, who was standing on the boat carrying supplies, saw this scene and felt very annoyed!
Because when he swam aboard, he was only wearing a pair of knee-length linen shorts and a pair of socks.
This forced him to find some clothes to wear.
There were a lot of clothes in the boat, but he only picked out a few that he wanted to wear at the moment.
Because Robinson thought some things were more important than clothes.
Especially woodworking tools!
He searched for a long time and finally found the carpenter's box.
At this time, tools are the most important thing for Robinson who is stranded on a desert island.
Even a whole shipload of gold isn't worth as much as this box of carpenter's tools!
He put the box on the raft and didn't want to take the time to open it, because Robinson knew roughly what tools were inside.
And most importantly, he had to get guns and ammunition!
This is to defend against unknown threats on the island.
It's also to defend against the devil Tom.
Moreover, this island is very abnormal.
At least it was the first time he saw a seagull wearing goggles in the morning.
This island gave Robinson a very bad feeling.
He must arm himself.
There were two very good muskets and two pistols stored in the cabin, and Robinson took them all.
Then he took some powder-horns, a small bag of shot, and two rusty old knives.
Robinson knew there were three barrels of gunpowder on the ship, but he didn't know where the gunners had put them.
He searched for a long time before finally finding it.
Two of the barrels were still dry and usable, but the other barrel was soaked in water.
So Robinson put two barrels of dry gunpowder on the raft along with the guns.
At this time he discovered that there were already a lot of things loaded on the raft.
Although there were still many things on the ship that Robinson failed to move away, he also knew that being too greedy would only put himself in greater danger.
So, Robinson began to think about how to transport it ashore.
Now he had no sails, no oars, and no rudder. A little wind would overturn the raft into the sea.
It seems that the current situation is not too bad.
First, the sea was as calm as a mirror.
Second, it is high tide and the sea water is rushing towards the shore.
Third, although there was a breeze, it was blowing towards the shore.
So Robinson immediately found the three broken oars that were originally used on the boat.
In addition to the tools in the toolbox, two saws, an axe and a head were also found.
After the cargo was loaded, Robinson drove the raft towards the shore.
For the first nautical mile, the raft sailed quite steadily, but it deviated slightly from where they landed yesterday.
Therefore, after sailing for several years, Robinson keenly discovered that the water current in this area was flowing in one direction towards the shore.
So he thought there might be a stream or river nearby.
If that were the case, he could then drive the raft into the port and unload the cargo.
It must be said that professional sailors are quite different from Tom.
It seems that Robinson Crusoe will soon find the fresh water that Tom has always wanted to find.
What happened next was exactly as expected.
Soon after, Robinson saw a small bay.
The tide was rushing in.
So he steered the raft as far as possible into the center of the rapids.
Here, he almost suffered a shipwreck again!
Because Robinson was not familiar with the terrain, one end of the raft suddenly ran aground on the beach, while the other end was still floating in the water!
Just a little more and the cargo on the raft would slide into the water!
In this situation, Robinson could only try his best to use his back to hold up the boxes to prevent them from sliding down.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pry the raft open.
Moreover, at this time Robinson could only hold the box and could not get away to do other things.
He did this for half an hour.
It was not until later, as the tide continued to rise, that the raft became somewhat balanced.
After a while, the tide rose higher and higher and the raft floated again.
Robinson breathed a sigh of relief and then used the oars to push the raft towards the mouth of the stream and finally entered the estuary.
The half hour on the raft was really exhausting for Robinson.
There are banks on both sides of the river mouth, and the tide is rushing in.
With his hands on his hips and breathing heavily, Robinson observed the terrain on both sides of the stream, preparing to find a suitable place to dock.
He did not want to sail too far into the creek, but wanted to land as close to the sea as possible.
Robinson now still hopes that a miracle will happen and he will be rescued.
The reason he chose this place was because he hoped to see ships passing by on the sea.
Finally, he found a small bay on the right bank of the stream.
Robinson took great effort to finally drive the raft to the shallowest place.
He pressed the oars against the river bottom and tried his best to push the raft in.
The thrilling thing is that here, he almost overturned all the cargo into the water again.
The river bank in this area is steep and straight, and there is no place to land.
If one end of the raft ran aground on the shore, the other end would inevitably tilt downward as it did last time, and the cargo would be in danger of sliding into the water again.
There was no other choice but to use the oars as an anchor.
One side of the raft was fixed on a flat sandy beach near the river bank, waiting for the tide to rise and flood the beach.
Time passed slowly, and the tide continued to rise and flooded the beach.
When the water rose high enough, Robinson paddled the raft across.
Because the raft is more than one foot deep in water.
When he got there, he moored the raft by driving two broken oars into the sand, one fore and one fore.
When the tide recedes, the raft and cargo can be left safely on shore.
The hard-working Robinson also had to observe the surrounding terrain.
Find a suitable place for his residence and storage space.
To prevent other accidents.
Now Robinson doesn't know where he is, nor does he know the specific situation of this deserted island.
He didn't even know whether the island was populated or uninhabited.
Is it a place where there are wild beasts, or a place where there are no wild beasts.
Less than a mile away from him there was a hill.
The mountain stood high above the hills to the north, and it looked like a mountain range.
So after Robinson had placed his goods, he planned to go to the top of the mountain to observe the specific situation of the island.
In fact, Robinson's approach is correct if he has enough physical strength.
Tom's survival in the wilderness is actually a bit like a game.
Robinson took a shotgun, a pistol and a horn of gunpowder and walked to the top of the mountain.
After a lot of effort, Robinson finally climbed to the top of the mountain!
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, Robinson couldn't help feeling extremely sad.
This is a completely isolated island!
As far as the eye can see, there is no land anywhere.
All we could see were a few isolated rocks in the distance, and two islands to the west that were smaller than the main island, about fifteen nautical miles away.
In addition, Robinson also discovered many wild taps on the top of the mountain.
These wild taps are gurgling with water.
It was they who released water here that formed the small river at the foot of the mountain.
