| 目 录 上一节 
我在岛上逗留了大约二十天，给他们留下了各种日用必需品，特别是枪支弹药、衣服和工具，以及我从英国带来的两个工人--一个是木匠，另一个是铁匠。 另外，我把全岛领土加以划分后分配给他们，我自己保留全岛的主权。我根据他们的要求，把土地一一分给他们。这样，我替他们解决了土地的归属问题，并嘱咐他们不要离开小岛，我自己就离开了。 From thence I touch'd at the Brasils, from whence I sent a Bark, which I bought there, with more People to the Island, and in it, besides other Supplies, I sent seven Women, being such as I found proper for Service, or for Wives to such as would take them: As to the English Men, I promis'd them to send them some Women from England, with a good Cargoe of Necessaries, if they would apply themselves to Planting, which I afterwards perform'd. And the Fellows prov'd very honest and diligent after they were master'd, and had their Properties set apart for them. I sent them also from the Brasils five Cows, three of them being big with Calf, some Sheep, and some Hogs, which, when I came again, were considerably encreas'd. 从那儿，我到了巴西。在巴西，我买了一条帆船，又送了一些人到岛上去。在那条船上，除了一些应用物品外，又给他们送了七个妇女去。这七个妇女都是经我亲自挑选的，有的适于干活，有的适于做老婆，只要那边有人愿意娶她们。至于那几个英国人，只要他们愿意在岛上勤于耕作，我答应从英国给他们送几个女人和大批的日用必需品去。这些诺言我后来也都实践了。这几个人被制服后，分到了土地，后来都成了诚实勤劳的人。我还从巴西给他们送去了五条母牛，其中有三条已怀了小牛，另外还有几只羊和几头猪。后来我再去时，那儿已是牛羊成群了。 But all these things, with an Account how 300 Caribbees came and invaded them, and ruin'd their Plantations, and how they fought with that whole Number twice, and were at first defeated, and three of them kill'd; but at last a Storm destroying their Enemies Cannoes, they famish'd or destroy'd almost all the rest, and renew'd and recover'd the Possession of their Plantation, and still liv'd upon the Island. 除了这些事情外，后来还发生了不少惊险的遭遇。三百来个加勒比土著曾入侵海岛，破坏了他们的种植园。他们曾两次与这些野人作战，起先被野人打败了，死了三个人。后来，刮起了风暴，摧毁了土著的独木舟；其余的野人不是饿死就是被消灭了，这样才重新收复了种植园，继续在岛上过日子。 All these things, with some very surprizing Incidents in some new Adventures of my own, for ten Years more, I may perhaps give a farther Account of hereafter. FINIS. 所有这些事情，以及我个人后来十多年的惊险遭遇，我可能以后再一一叙述。 | |
