Question

why did the captain send some of the sailors to the island?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Finally, on 16th June, 1703, we saw a large island with a small piece of land joined to it. I later discovered that this country was called Brobdingnag. The captain sent some of his sailors in a boat to land there and bring some fresh water. I went with them because I was interested in seeing a new country.

Answer 2

The sailors thought it best to hold on the same course till they reached land so that they could determine their whereabouts. men to go to the island to fetch some fresh water for the crew.
