the further adventures of robinson crusoe

At last, Robinson and Xury are found by a Portuguese ship, whose captain offers to take Robinson to Brazil for free. Along the way, they meet some African natives on the shore, who give them food and water. The two of them went south along the coast of Africa, hoping to encounter a European trading vessel. Out at sea, Robinson pushed Ismael overboard and sailed away with Xury. After two years, he finally was able to escape when he went out in a fishing boat with a Moor named Ismael and a young boy named Xury. On this trip, Robinson's ship was taken by pirates and he was taken as a slave to the Moorish port of Sallee. The captain of this vessel died, but Robinson joined the ship to go on the same voyage again with a new captain, leaving his money in the care of the old captain's widow. Robinson says that this was his only successful voyage: he returned to London safely with a small fortune from trading. There, he joined a ship bound for the coast of Africa. Once on shore, the shipmaster told Robinson to go back home, but he felt compelled to continue his journey and so went to London by land. Fortunately, Robinson and the other crewmembers were rescued by another boat. On the way to London, the ship encountered a horrible storm and sank. Despite his parents' warnings, Robinson left home and joined a ship to London without telling his parents. Robinson eagerly wanted to venture out to sea, although both his parents urged him not to and tried to persuade him to stay home and lead a comfortable life.

The story begins with Robinson Crusoe describing his early life in York, England. An anonymous editor introduces the account of a man's incredible adventures, which he says is true, entertaining, and useful for the reader.
