In my first year, I decided not to eat the crops. I planned to save them until I had enough seed and crops. This would not be until my fourth year on the island.
I was in my cave one day when the roof began to fall down. I was very frightened and ran out and over the fence. As soon as I was out, I realized that an earthquake was happening. The ground shook three times. I saw rocks fall into the sea and waves that were worse than those in a storm. I thought all my work would be destroyed. However, after the third shock, there was no more, and I began to feel safer. Then, a terrible storm came, but I did not dare to go inside my cave. The wind blew some trees off the ground. Then, it began to rain. It rained so hard that I had to go into the cave. It rained all night and most of the next day. I could not go out. When the storm stopped, I began to look for another place to move my tent. I saw that the wind and the earthquake had moved the wreck of the ship closer to the beach. I could walk there at low tide, and I spent the next few weeks getting more wood from it.
I began to feel cold though the weather was warm, and a day or two later I was really sick. I had headaches. I shivered. I could not eat. I had bad dreams. I was afraid. I thought about my father and his advice. I cried. I slept.
I was sick for two weeks. Then, I felt better, but I was very weak. I ate some turtle eggs and drank some rum. I walked slowly down to the beach. I thought I was lucky to be alive. I went back to bed and slept again. I think I slept for two days.
When I woke up, I decided that I should try to be as happy as possible on the island. I had been there for almost a year. I had been busy making a safe place to live and looking after my food. Now I wanted to see the rest of the island.
