there in 1704, alone and at his own request
because he had quarreled with the captain of
the ship on which he was serving as mate.
For four years and four months he lived alone
on the island, being finally taken off by the
British ship Duke. He dressed In goatskins, and
many of his adventures we're similar to those
described by Defoe in his book. One of his
chief amusements was training CATS whose an
