[|Spark Notes]

Important Key Points:


 *  A year later on September 1, 1651, Crusoe is off to sea. On a whim, he boards ship to London with a friend.
 *  He is seasick and scared during a small storm.
 *  He makes a deal with God that if he is spared he will stay on dry land.
 *  After the weather cleared and he witnessed calm seas, Crusoe abandons his promise.
 *  A huge storm strikes near Newcastle; Crusoe faints in fear as he’s helping pump the boat.
 *  All were rescued by another smaller boat and taken to shore.
 *  Crusoe and the rest watch their ship founder . . . sink!
