The life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe 128

[ カテゴリ未分類 ]

It happen'd to my farther Misfortune, That the Weather prov'd hazey for three or four days, while I was in this Valley; and not being able to see the sun, I wander'd about very uncomfortably, and at last was oblig'd to find out the Sea Side, look for my Post, and come back the same Way I went; and then by easy Journies I turn'd Homeward, the Weather being exceeding hot, and my Gun, Ammunition, Hatchet, and other Things very heavy.

In this Journey my Dog surpriz'd a young Kid, and seiz'd upon it, and I running in to take hold of it, caught it, and sav'd it alive from the Dog: I had a great Mind to bring it Home if I could; for I had often been musing, Weather it might not be possible to get a Kid or two, and so raise a Breed of tame Goats, which might supply me when my powder and Shot should be all spent.

I made a Collar to this little Creature, and with a String which I made of some Rope-Yarn, which I always carry'd about me, I led him along tho' with some Difficulty, till I came to my Bower, and there I enclos'd him, and left him; for I was very impatient to be at Home, for whence I had bee absent above a Month.

I cannot express what a Satisfaction it was to me, to come into my old Hutch, and lye down in my Hamock-Bed: This little wandring Journey, without settled Place of Abode, had been so unpleasant to me, that my own House, as I call'd it to my self, was a perfect Settlement to me, compar'd to that, and it rendred every Thing about me so comfortable, that I resolv'd I would never to a great Way from it again, while it should be my Lot to stay on the Island.
