We were cast ashore with hardly any provisions, and two of the sailors were sick.

We had to live on fish, birds, and fruit, and we've had a hard lot of it, I can tell you that.

Yesterday Lesher and I resolved to explore this island, thinking that perhaps some of the wreckage from the schooner had washed ashore here.

We came over in the afternoon and tramped along the north shore until it grew dark, but without finding anything.

We slept at the shore last night, and this morning started to go over the hill back there.
