The musk ox now supplied many wants in our "robinson Crusoe" life.
"My Attainment of the Pole"
Frederick A. Cook
It is as interesting and as important to us to discover signs of intellect outside ourselves as it was to robinson Crusoe to find the imprint of a human foot other than his own on the sandy beach of his island.
"Life and Writings of Maurice Maeterlinck"
Jethro Bithell
Mr S. is playing the piano, G. and I are painting, Mrs S. sewing, and all the morning, from the lower deck, there comes the continual chink of silver rupees, where Captain robinson and his mate are settling the trade accounts of the trip, blessing the Burmese clerk for having half a rupee too much; funny work for men brought up to "handle reef and steer."
"From Edinburgh to India & Burmah"
William G. Burn Murdoch
