第一动画乐园巴啦啦小魔仙30 Had Will Atkins and his men retired immediately, as soon as theyhad fired, as they were ordered to do, or had the rest of the bodybeen at hand to have poured in their shot continually, the savageshad been effectually routed; for the terror that was among themcame principally from this, that they were killed by the gods withthunder and lightning, and could see nobody that hurt them. ButWill Atkins, staying to load again, discovered the cheat: some ofthe savages who were at a distance spying them, came upon thembehind; and though Atkins and his men fired at them also, two orthree times, and killed above twenty, retiring as fast as theycould, yet they wounded Atkins himself, and killed one of hisfellow-Englishmen with their arrows, as they did afterwards oneSpaniard, and one of the Indian slaves who came with the women.This slave was a most gallant fellow, and fought most desperately,killing five of them with his own hand, having no weapon but one ofthe armed staves and a hatchet.
I had been here eight months, and a dark, dreadful winter I thoughtit; the cold so intense that I could not so much as look abroadwithout being wrapped in furs, and a kind of mask of fur before myface, with only a hole for breath, and two for sight: the littledaylight we had was for three months not above five hours a day,and six at most; only that the snow lying on the groundcontinually, and the weather being clear, it was never quite dark.Our horses were kept, or rather starved, underground; and as forour servants, whom we hired here to look after ourselves andhorses, we had, every now and then, their fingers and toes to thawand take care of, lest they should mortify and fall off.第一动画乐园巴啦啦小魔仙30 I have related to what extremity the poor young woman was reduced;how her mistress was starved to death, and died on board thatunhappy ship we met at sea, and how the whole ship's company wasreduced to the last extremity. The gentlewoman, and her son, andthis maid, were first hardly used as to provisions, and at lasttotally neglected and starved - that is to say, brought to the lastextremity of hunger. One day, being discoursing with her on theextremities they suffered, I asked her if she could describe, bywhat she had felt, what it was to starve, and how it appeared? Shesaid she believed she could, and told her tale very distinctlythus:-

It was now March, the days grown considerably longer, and theweather at least tolerable; so the other travellers began toprepare sledges to carry them over the snow, and to get thingsready to be going; but my measures being fixed, as I have said, forArchangel, and not for Muscovy or the Baltic, I made no motion;knowing very well that the ships from the south do not set out forthat part of the world till May or June, and that if I was there bythe beginning of August, it would be as soon as any ships would beready to sail. Therefore I made no haste to be gone, as othersdid: in a word, I saw a great many people, nay, all thetravellers, go away before me. It seems every year they go fromthence to Muscovy, for trade, to carry furs, and buy necessaries,which they bring back with them to furnish their shops: alsoothers went on the same errand to Archangel.
W.A. - That's true, indeed; but I have been a wicked wretch, andhave not only forgotten to acquaint thee with anything before, buthave lived without God in the world myself.
About two hours after I heard somebody at or near the door of myroom, and I was going to open the door, but he had opened it andcome in. "My dear friend," says he, "you had almost overset me,but I am recovered. Do not take it ill that I do not close withyour offer. I assure you it is not for want of sense of thekindness of it in you; and I came to make the most sincereacknowledgment of it to you; but I hope I have got the victory overmyself." - "My lord," said I, "I hope you are fully satisfied thatyou do not resist the call of Heaven." - "Sir," said he, "if it hadbeen from Heaven, the same power would have influenced me to haveaccepted it; but I hope, and am fully satisfied, that it is fromHeaven that I decline it, and I have infinite satisfaction in theparting, that you shall leave me an honest man still, though not afree man."
This put me in mind of the life I lived in my kingdom, the island;where I suffered no more corn to grow, because I did not want it;and bred no more goats, because I had no more use for them; wherethe money lay in the drawer till it grew mouldy, and had scarce thefavour to be looked upon in twenty years. All these things, had Iimproved them as I ought to have done, and as reason and religionhad dictated to me, would have taught me to search farther thanhuman enjoyments for a full felicity; and that there was somethingwhich certainly was the reason and end of life superior to allthese things, and which was either to be possessed, or at leasthoped for, on this side of the grave.
W.A. - Yes, my dear, God is in every country.
I was now alone in a most remote part of the world, for I was nearthree thousand leagues by sea farther off from England than I wasat my island; only, it is true, I might travel here by land overthe Great Mogul's country to Surat, might go from thence to Bassoraby sea, up the Gulf of Persia, and take the way of the caravans,over the desert of Arabia, to Aleppo and Scanderoon; from thence bysea again to Italy, and so overland into France. I had another waybefore me, which was to wait for some English ships, which werecoming to Bengal from Achin, on the island of Sumatra, and getpassage on board them from England. But as I came hither withoutany concern with the East Indian Company, so it would be difficultto go from hence without their licence, unless with great favour ofthe captains of the ships, or the company's factors: and to both Iwas an utter stranger.
We need not doubt but that the governor and the man with him,surprised with this sight, ran back immediately and raised theirfellows, giving them an account of the imminent danger they wereall in, and they again as readily took the alarm; but it wasimpossible to persuade them to stay close within where they were,but they must all run out to see how things stood. While it wasdark, indeed, they were safe, and they had opportunity enough forsome hours to view the savages by the light of three fires they hadmade at a distance from one another; what they were doing they knewnot, neither did they know what to do themselves. For, first, theenemy were too many; and secondly, they did not keep together, butwere divided into several parties, and were on shore in severalplaces.
CHAPTER I - REVISITS ISLAND
I could hold no longer: I took him in my arms and embraced himeagerly. "How far," said I to him, "have I been from understandingthe most essential part of a Christian, viz. to love the interestof the Christian Church, and the good of other men's souls! Iscarce have known what belongs to the being a Christian." - "Oh,sir! do not say so," replied he; "this thing is not your fault." -"No," said I; "but why did I never lay it to heart as well as you?"- "It is not too late yet," said he; "be not too forward to condemnyourself." - "But what can be done now?" said I: "you see I amgoing away." - "Will you give me leave to talk with these poor menabout it?" - "Yes, with all my heart," said I: "and oblige them togive heed to what you say too." - "As to that," said he, "we mustleave them to the mercy of Christ; but it is your business toassist them, encourage them, and instruct them; and if you give meleave, and God His blessing, I do not doubt but the poor ignorantsouls shall be brought home to the great circle
