Having now brought all my Things on Shore, and secur'd them, I
went back to my Boat, and row'd, or paddled her along the Shore, to her old
Harbour, where I laid her up, and made the best of my way to my old Habitation,
where I found every thing safe and quiet; so I began to repose my self, live
after my old fashion, and take care of my Family Affairs; and for a while, I
liv'd easy enough; only that I was more vigilant than I us'd to be, look'd out
oftner, and did not go abroad so much; and if at any time I did stir with any
Freedom, it was always to the East Part of the Island, where I was pretty well
satisfy'd the Savages never came, and where I could go without so many
Precautions, and such a Load of Arms and Ammunition, as I always carry'd with
me, if I went the other way.
I liv'd in this Condition near two Years
more; but my unlucky Head, that was always to let me know it was born to make my
Body miserable, was all this two Years fill'd with Projects and Designs, how, if
it were possible, I might get away from this Island; for sometimes I was for
making another Voyage to the Wreck, though my Reason told me that there was
nothing left there, worth the Hazard of my Voyage: Sometimes for a Ramble one

whither.

are touch'd with the general Plague of Mankind, whence, for ought I know, one
half of their Miseries flow; I mean, that of not being satisfy'd with the
Station wherein God and Nature has plac'd them; for not to look back upon my
primitive Condition, and the excellent Advice of my Father, the Opposition to
which, was, as I may call it, my ORIGINAL SIN; my subsequent Mistakes of the
same kind had been the Means of my coming into this miserable Condition; for had
that Providence, which so happily had seated me at the Brasils, as a Planter,
bless'd me with confin'd Desires, and I could have been contented to have gone
on gradually, I might have been by this Time; I mean, in the Time of my being in
this Island, one of the most considerable Planters in the Brasils, nay, I am
perswaded, that by the Improvements I had made, in that little Time I liv'd
there, and the Encrease I should probably have made, if I had stay'd, I might
have been worth an hundred thousand Moydors; and what Business had I to
