I got up from the floor on which I was lying and opened the hole in the roof to let in some fresh air. I could do nothing else. The box was well made, and very little water came in. I spent four hours in this dangerous position, and then I heard a noise on the side of my box where the hooks were. Soon after I felt that the box was pulled along in the sea. This gave me some hope. In some time it struck something hard and stopped. I tied my handkerchief to the stick, which was always with me, and put it out through the hole in the roof. I waved this flag in the air and called for help in a loud voice in all the languages that I knew. Great was my joy when I heard a voice, which said in English: “You are safe. Your box is fas­tened to our ship. Soon we shall make a hole in the top, large enough to pull you out.”

I said, “That will take too long.” Better tell one of the sail­ors to put his finger through the ring, take the box out of the sea and lift it on to the ship.” Some people laughed. Soon they made a hole in the roof and helped me to climb out. I felt very weak and ill.

The sailors asked me a lot of questions, but I could not an­swer them; after two years, with the giants, it was a great shock to me to see so many small men.

The captain noticed that I was weak and looked very strange. He took me to his cabin and advised me to sleep, I think he thought that I was mad. I slept some hours, and when I woke up, I felt much better. It was evening now and I was hungry, so the captain ordered supper at once. At supper he asked me to tell him about my adventures. I told him my whole story. He was very surprised to hear it, of course.

The ship was returning to England. The voyage was very good. The captain stopped at one or two ports to get fresh water, but I never left the ship.

We reached England on the third day of June, 1706. I thanked the captain and made him promise to come and see me at my house. I went home and was very glad to find all my family in good health.
