Read this excerpt from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. We had a boat at our stern just before the storm, but she
was first staved by dashing against the ship's rudder, and,
in the next place, she broke away, and either sunk, or was
driven off to sea; so there was no hope from her. We had
another boat on board, but how to get her off into the sea
was a doubtful thing; however, there was no room to
debate, for we fancied the ship would break in pieces every
minute, and some told us she was actually broken already.
