For certain reasons, it would be inappropriate to burden the reader with a detailed account of our adventures in these seas; it will be enough to say that while sailing to the East Indies, we were blown by a fierce storm northwest of Vandimene Land. According to observations, we were at 30 degrees and 2 minutes south latitude. Twelve of our crew died from exhaustion and poor food; the rest were extremely weak. On November 5th, 1) (the beginning of summer in these parts) there was a thick fog, so the sailors only spotted the rock from half a cable’s length away from the ship; but the wind was so strong that it drove us straight onto it, and the ship instantly cracked. Six of the crew, including myself, managed to lower a boat and row away from the ship and the rock. By my calculations, we rowed about three leagues until we were completely worn out, as we were already exhausted on the ship. Therefore, we trusted ourselves to the mercy of the waves, and 2) (after about half an hour the boat was suddenly overturned by a gust of wind from the north). What happened to my boat companions, as well as those who sought refuge on the rock or stayed on the ship, I cannot say; I imagine they were all lost. As for myself, I swam as fortune directed me, pushed by the wind and tide. I often dipped my feet but could not find the bottom; when I was utterly exhausted and unable to struggle against the waves any longer, I felt the ground under my feet, and meanwhile, the storm had significantly calmed. The seabed was very shallow in that place, and I had to walk about a mile before I reached the shore; I estimated it was around eight in the evening. I walked another half mile, 3) (but I could not discover any signs of habitation or inhabitants); or at least I was too weak to make out anything. I felt extreme fatigue; from exhaustion, heat, and the half-pint of brandy I had drunk on the ship, I was very sleepy. I lay down on the grass, which was very low and soft here, and 4) (I fell asleep so soundly that I had never slept so well before, for about nine hours); because when I woke up, it was already quite light. I tried to stand but could not move; I was lying on my back and discovered that my hands and feet on both sides were firmly attached to the ground; and my hair, 5) (which were long and thick), was tied in the same way. Likewise, I felt that my body from the armpits to the hips was wrapped in a network of thin ropes. I could only look upward; the sun began to burn, and its light blinded my eyes. Around me, there was a dull noise, 6) (but the position in which I was lying did not allow me to see anything but the sky). Soon I felt something alive moving along my left leg, gently crawling over my chest and stopping near my chin. Lowering my eyes as far as I could, I saw a human creature no taller than six inches, holding a bow and arrow with a quiver on its back.
