Most people know their "Robinson Crusoe," and have heard of the
author Defoe. But how many of us have heard even the name of Woodes
Rogers, Master Mariner? or have read his quaint Journal of a
cruising voyage round the world in 1712. Yet it was this Woodes
Rogers who not only discovered the original Crusoe, Alexander
Selkirk, but after making a "note of him when found" upon the
island of Juan Fernandez, at once proceeded to make very practical
use of him by giving him command of the "Increase," one of many
small prizes taken in the South Seas from the Spaniards by the
ships under Woodes' command.
