When the raft was strong enough to load, he lowered the cheeses, corn, the seaman's chest and other provisions onto the raft. He used spare yards and several spars of wood to construct a raft. He found many things, including biscuits and rum, which he wanted to take ashore and he began searching for a boat in order to transport them to shore. He searched for all the unspoiled provisions. This distressed him so much that he began to cry, but he quickly quit and began to make plans to get to the ship.Īfter surmounting many difficulties in getting to the ship, he pulled himself up by means of a hanging rope. Later, at the tide's ebb, he found that he could come to within a quarter of a mile of the ship and then he realized that if they had all stayed on board that they would all have been saved. He began to wish to board the ship so that he could save some of the things that he could later use. The ship had been carried by the tide almost to the shore. When Crusoe woke up, he found the weather clear and the storm over.
