One night, soon after we entered the tropics, an awful storm burst
upon our ship. The first squall of wind carried away two of our
masts, and left only the foremast standing. There was no room for
me upon the lifeboat; but being left behind saved my life -- and
the lives of Peterkin and Jack Martin, my two companions. Come,
boys, said Jack Martin in a grave tone as we stood on the
quarterdeck awaiting our fate -- You see it is impossible that the
little boat can reach the shore, crowded with men. He had us take
hold of a loose oar, and guided us to shelter on a deserted coral
isle...and that is the beginning of my harrowing tale.
