Savages' fire and the Spanish wreck

1 The small green island lies alone on a pale sea at December dawn, the mainland far off

2 From the hilltop, nine tiny figures sit round a smoking fire on a long pale beach

3 On a stormy night, Crusoe lights a hilltop beacon for the unseen ship he heard firing

4 From a high dark rock, the young castaway looks out at the broken wreck in white surf

5 On the high rock, Crusoe presses his fists to his chest, longing for one saved companion

6 Crusoe's small canoe approaches the Spanish wreck jammed between two black rocks

7 On the Spanish wreck, Crusoe finds two drowned sailors locked in each other's arms

8 Among Spanish chests, Crusoe holds a pump and eyes his bare feet; silver lies ignored
