During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled
to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to
, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided
myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard
, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think
I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t m
ove it! I pulled and pushed and
everything, but it didn’t move. I was very
for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my
year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was
small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my
now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.
