excerpt from Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
At length I spled a little cove on the right shore of the creek, to which with great pain and difficulty I guided my raft, and at last got so near that, reaching
ground with my oar, I could thrust her directly in. But here I had
ike to have dipped all my cargo into the sea again; for that shore lying pretty
steepthat is to say slopingthere was no place to land, but where one end of my float, if it ran on shore, would lie so high, and the other sink lower,
as before, that it would endanger my cargo again. All that I could do was to wait till the tide was at the highest, keeping the raft with my oar like
anchor, to hold the side of it fast to the shore, near
an
flat plece of ground, which I expected the water would flow over; and so it did. As soon as | found
water enough- for my raft drew about a foot of water-I thrust her upon that flat plece of ground, and there fastened or moored her, by sticking my
broken oars into the ground, one on one side near one end, and one on the other side near the other end; and thus I lay till the water ebbed away,
two
left my taft and all my cargo safe on shore.
