He every day cut a notch in his post Hand-tinted copper-engraving 8. Just as his ship had been providentially stranded close to shore, now its remains fortunately wash ashore, giving Robinson more supplies.
Robinson found a turtle on the shore, cooked it, and ate it. Soon after, he became very sick with a fever and was ill for about a week.
He began to feel better and ate some goat, but then felt horribly sick and prayed to God to get better. Robinson prays to God, but at this point—before his repentance—has not thought deeply about his own sin or his duty to God. Dehydrated and feverous, Robinson had a dream that he was sitting outside his walled dwelling during an earthquake. A storm grew and a man came down from a black cloud "in a bright flame of fire," and stepped on the earth. The man came toward Robinson with a weapon and said, "Seeing all these things have not brought thee to repentance, now thou shalt die.
Robinson's terrifying dream causes him to reflect on his religious thoughts. The mysterious figure refers to all of Robinson's sufferings "all these things," as brought about to bring Robinson to repentance. Robinson admits that he had not had religious thoughts for some time and it had never even crossed his mind that his predicament was a divine punishment for his sins.
Even when he made it safely to land after his shipwreck and thanked God, he did not reflect at all "upon the goodness of the hand which had preserved me. Robinson realizes the shallowness of his former beliefs. While he thanked God occasionally, he did not think deeply about God or see his life as dictated by God's will.
Robinson cried and prayed, remembering his father's warning that God would not bless him if he went to sea. He lamented that he had neglected God and "rejected the voice of Providence," which has given him a comfortable life. Looking back on his mistakes, Robinson realizes he should have heeded his father's warnings and should have been thankful to God for his comfortable life.
The next day, Robinson felt slightly better but assumed that he would be sick again that night. Walking around, he began thinking about God and concluded that God must have willed for him to end up here, as punishment for his "dreadful misspent life.
He boiled some tobacco and read the Bible, stumbling upon the phrase, "Call on me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. As Robinson turns fully to Christianity, he comes to perceive his being shipwrecked as divinely ordained punishment for his previous behavior. Nonetheless, the biblical verse he finds also introduces the possibility of divinely willed deliverance from his suffering, foreshadowing that while his mistakes have brought him to the island the island will be the means of his redemption.
Robinson drank some of the tobacco-water mixed with rum and fell asleep. For the first time, he prayed to God before going to sleep. He slept for an entire day and when he woke up he was amazed to feel healthy and refreshed. He gradually recovered from his illness and thanked God.
This marks a turning point in Robinson's religious thinking. He truly prays for the first time, recovers, and is now completely devoted to Christianity. Starting July 4, Robinson began to read the Bible seriously. He reflected on his earlier wicked life, repented, and prayed earnestly to God. Robinson notes that his idea of "deliverance" changed, as he now prayed to be delivered from his former sin and guilt, not necessarily from his situation on the island.
As Robinson continues to read the Bible, he comes to see his being stranded alone on the island as a good thing, a deliverance from his former life of sin. Having been on the island for ten months, Robinson was sure that he would never be rescued from it, and also sure that he was completely alone on the island.
He decided to explore the island more fully, finding tobacco and sugar plants, as well as a forested area with various fruit trees. Beginning to accept his new solitary life, Robinson sets out to explore the wilderness of his largely unknown island. Robinson tried to bring some fruit back to his home, but most of it spoiled or got bruised on the way back. He considered moving his dwelling to the forested, fruitful part of the island. However, he decided it was better to stay at his current dwelling, in view of the ocean.
Nonetheless, he built a smaller dwelling in the forest, where he would occasionally stay. While Robinson is becoming more comfortable with his solitary life, he still does not want to move his main dwelling from within view of the ocean, so he can see if any ships come to the island. Robinson dried a great quantity of grapes he found, so that he had a large supply of raisins that would keep during the upcoming season. Robinson mentions that at this point, one of the cats he had brought from the ship, which had run away, returned to him with three kittens.
Before long, Robinson was "so pestered with cats," that he had to kill them and drive them away from his home. The wilderness of the island, which Robinson at first feared, again supplies him with food.
Robinson's only companions are his animals, including the cats who pester him. The cats appear to be "civilizing" the island themselves. After a period of incessant rain, Robinson realized that it was the one year anniversary of his arrival on the island.
He spent the day fasting and praying to God. After this, he decided to keep track of weeks as well as days and to observe the Sabbath.
