You know Africa, Robinson. You are the best person to go. What do you say?”They all looked at me with worried faces while they waited for my reply.“I have an easy life here,” I thought. “It isn’t a good idea to leave everything and go to sea again.”But I went.

We need to repair them. “We must go back to Brazil.”“No,” I said. “We aren’t far from the island of Barbados. We must go there. They speak English and we can find people to help us repair the ship.”So we sailed north-east into the Caribbean Sea.We were making good progress when there was another storm. Once again the strong wind blew our ship off its course. This time it took us west and away from Barbados. We were going towards unknown lands.

From there I could see the other islands, and I could also see a boat, far out to sea. “If you have a boat,” I thought, “it’s easy to sail across to this island.

Then these wild men danced round the fire, singing and shouting.
