10 POINTS from Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
Nothing can describe the confusion of thought which I felt when I sank into the water. Though I swam very well, I could not deliver myself from
the waves so as to draw breath, till that wave having driven me, or rather carried me, a vast way on towards the shore, and having spent itself,
went back, and left me upon the land almost dry, but half dead with the water I took in. I had so much presence of mind, as well as breath left.
that seeing myself nearer the mainland than I expected, I got upon my feet and endeavored to make on towards the land as fast as I could before
another wave should return and take me up again. However, I soon found it was impossible to avoid it for I saw the sea come after me as high as
a great hill, and as furious as an enemy, which I had no means or strength to contend with my business was to hold my breath, and raise myself
upon the water if I could. By swimming, I could preserve my breathing, and pilot myself towards the shore, if possible. My greatest concern now
being that the sea, as it would carry me a great way towards the shore when it came on, might not carry me back again with it when it gave back
towards the sea
