Escape From the Island

逃离孤岛 

A 

1、Only eight days after they left, while I was sleeping， Friday hurried to me. 

2、'Master, they are back!' 

3、I felt strange and I did not believe that they could be back so soon. 

4、We got to a higher place and looked. 

5、There was a great ship in the sea and a small boat was sailing to the shore. 

6、There were 11 men in the boat and three were tied. 

7、I knew that they were not the guests I was waiting for. 

8、I could see that the ship was English and so was the boat. 

9、Since English ships never came here, I thought that they might be pirates. 

10、So we got all our guns ready and went down to hide in the trees nearby.

1、They got off the boat，and the nine sailors pushed and hit the three prisoners. 

2、Soon some of the sailors walked along the beach and some sat down to rest. 

3、The three prisoners looked very sad and they walked towards us and sat down under a tree. 

4、It seemed that the sailors did not care if the prisoners ran away. 

C 

1、I moved quietly to them and said in a low voice behind them, 

2、'Hello sir, don't be afraid! I am your friend here to help you!' 

3、They turned and saw me but they were too surprised to speak at once. 

4、Perhaps my strange clothes made of animal skin, my long hair and beard terrified them. 

5、I then told them my story very briefly and said that I was willing to help them. 

6、Then the oldest man was moved to tears and began to speak in a low voice. 

D 

1、He was the captain of the ship and the other two were his first and second mates. 

2、A mutiny had happened the night before and the seamen had taken the ship. 

3、They were going to leave the three on this island to die. 

4、Now they were ready to get the ship back with my help.
