to_o myself_o i_o see_v the_o creature_n which_o bound_v and_o it_o cast_v water_n out_o of_o its_o nostril_n with_o horrible_a hissing_n and_o afterward_o sink_v down_o again_o clear_a under_o the_o

wood_n and_o without_o any_o other_o think_v than_o that_o of_o death_n which_o i_o well_o see_v can_v not_o be_v avoid_v i_o be_v so_o spend_v with_o the_o fatigue_n which_o i_o have_v undergo_v and_o so_o incommode_v with_o the_o water_n which_o i_o have_v swallow_v down_o that_o no_o one_o will_v think_v humanity_n capable_a of_o resist_v so_o great_a evil_n in_o this_o estate_n i_o remember_v my_o fruit_n and_o eat_v two_o of_o they_o after_o which_o i_o find_v it_o impossible_a to_o avoid_v sleep_v so_o that_o i_o be_v oblige_v to_o turn_v i_o upon_o my_o plank_n with_o my_o face_n upward_o to_o be_v in_o some_o manner_n without_o danger_n of_o be_v strangle_v by_o the_o water_n i_o close_v my_o eye_n and_o know_v not_o how_o long_o i_o tarry_v in_o this_o posture_n but_o i_o waken_v at_o last_o by_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o dart_v very_o bright_a upon_o my_o face_n and_o i_o find_v that_o i_o be_v drive_v by_o the_o wind_n north-east_n with_o great_a swiftness_n although_o the_o sea_n be_v pretty_a smooth_a i_o think_v my_o heart_n and_o mind_n in_o a_o very_a calm_a posture_n and_o a_o little_a after_o i_o find_v myself_o very_o near_o a_o

render_v incapable_a of_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n all_o that_o i_o can_v do_v be_v to_o trail_v my_o plank_n at_o a_o certain_a distance_n where_o i_o lay_v i_o down_o and_o soon_o

of_o these_o fruit_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o have_v eat_v it_o i_o perceive_v that_o want_n of_o nourishment_n be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o my_o extreme_a weakness_n i_o then_o advance_v to_o seek_v out_o something_o else_o and_o after_o have_v march_v about_o 200_o pace_n i_o find_v many_o tree_n but_o i_o perceive_v no_o fruit_n which_o make_v i_o fall_v into_o a_o
