Robinson, who had been trying to catch some crabs along shore, had his trousers rolled up. He was rather a disheveled figure as he stood there in fact, none of the refugees appeared to sartorial advantage but who minded that?" "Hurray!" yelled Mr. Robinson, waving, a piece of cloth on a stick an improvised crab-net. "Hurray!" So you've come for the Robinson Crusoes; have you?"
The professor figured that the sun would not appear again to the Crusoes on this island in the air for quite fourteen hours. They all ought to get sufficient sleep before that time. The havoc wrought by the rays of the torrid sun upon the glacier had been apparent as they came over it to this fringe of trees at the base of the cliff.
Deerskins and bearskins served for cloaks, jackets, shirts, stockings, and even for shoes. The great army must have looked much like a band of Robinson Crusoes. There he came upon a great river.
CHARLES. "The first voyage, we are to navigate the Indian Ocean, calling on as many Robinson Crusoes as we can find in the various little islands: our second voyage is to explore the whole coast of Africa. "Our ship was last at anchor off the coast of New Holland, and our next stoppage will be at the Moluccas.
"Some day, Mamzelle," the Captain said, "I will take you and the children a little jaunt on our own account. We will take a boat and go up the river to a dear little spot which I know very well, and there we will have tea and pretend to be Robinson Crusoes on a desert island.
Men are like that, especially men of the people, and when you read of Crusoes and their wonderful doings on desert islands you read Romance. The quick, trained mind of the girl seemed to see clearly where they could scarcely see at all, she had imagination and she was a woman that is to say a being more gifted than man, with prevision in affairs purely material.
Tank you, Massa Captain." And forthwith he and the other two black servants in attendance on Wagtail and Gelid, each seized his two muskets out of the arm chest, with the corresponding ammunition, and, like so many sable Robinson Crusoes, were stumping aft, when I again accosted the aforesaid Pegtop. "I say, my man, now since you have got the muskets, does your master really intend to fight?"
This consummation, however, is not the invariable result. Even emigration only increases, although to a large extent, the number of Crusoes; and there is still a portion of the people who drift to and fro as helplessly as sea-weed. But at home, the bulk of the people are in this condition; they have no capacity for expedients, which are the stepping-stones of progress.
We very soon carried out this project, and all of us working away to join our handkerchiefs, we had by the next afternoon a big flag flying from what we called our mast-head. "Why, we shall turn into regular Robinson Crusoes, if we stay here as long as you were saying we might have to do, Mr Brand," observed Jerry, as we were working away at our flag-staff.
Then they started through the woods, which just at this point happened to be unusually dense, with great trees rearing their crests a hundred feet or so above the heads of the shipwrecked Crusoes. It was not long before Max called attention to a certain spot which he claimed would answer all their present needs.
