Explanation:
When Crusoe woke up, he found the weather clear and the storm over. The ship had been carried by the tide almost to the shore. He began to wish to board the ship so that he could save some of the things that he could later use. Later, at the tide's ebb, he found that he could come to within a quarter of a mile of the ship and then he realized that if they had all stayed on board that they would all have been saved. This distressed him so much that he began to cry, but he quickly quit and began to make plans to get to the ship.
After surmounting many difficulties in getting to the ship, he pulled himself up by means of a hanging rope. He searched for all the unspoiled provisions. He found many things, including biscuits and rum, which he wanted to take ashore and he began searching for a boat in order to transport them to shore. He used spare yards and several spars of wood to construct a raft. When the raft was strong enough to load, he lowered the cheeses, corn, the seaman's chest and other provisions onto the raft. He then searched and found ammunition and guns for his use, and then made use of the rising tide to navigate back to the shore with his cache.
The tide took him to a small cove and from here he searched for a safe place to stay, protected from wild beasts and other dangers. Climbing to the top of a hill, he discovered that he was on an island which he believed to be uninhabited. He killed a strange fowl only to discover that it was inedible. He spent the rest of the day bringing his cargo to shore and barricading himself for safety.
Since he was unsure whether or not the ship would last another day or whether it would be blown apart by the winds and waves, he made another trip to the ship in order to bring back more tools and arms. On his return, he confronted the first of the undomesticated cats, which later became a nuisance to him.
Using part of the sail he procured from the ship, he made a tent in which to spend the night. He slept well and, the next day, he made another trip to the ship. This time he brought back some bread, sugar, rum, and flour. He continued to visit the ship every day at low tide in order to get more useful things from it. After thirteen days on shore and twelve trips to the ship, he brought back "about 36 pounds value in money, some European doins, some Brazil, some pieces of eight, some gold and silver." He was amused at the sight of the money because he realized that of all the things he brought off the ship, this money would have the least value for him in his present condition.
A storm blew up and blew hard the entire night, and when morning came, the ship was nowhere to be seen, but he was content that he had brought everything back that he could use before the ship disappeared.
Crusoe's first concern was for his own protection and safety against unknown dangers. Accordingly, he decided upon both a cave and a tent to ward off whatever type of dangers that might appear. Not being satisfied with his present location, he decided to investigate other parts of the island to see if he could find a more suitable location to build his fortress. He found a flat place on the side of a hill and determined to pitch his tent there. Using a cable from the ship and his imagination, he made a type of fortification around the tent to ward off dangers. For further safety, he insured that the only means of entrance was by means of a ladder over the top of the tent.
to which he was reduced, and in the form of a ledger, he listed the "evil" that had befallen him, in contrast to the "good" that was also his lot. After reviewing the pros and cons of his condition and, in spite of the horror of his condition, he realized that, nevertheless, God was on his side and that he had much to be thankful for.
