Ingiliz yazar ve gazeteci Daniel Defoe’ya gore, Robinson Crusoe 28 yil sonra adayi terk etti. (19 Aralik 1686)
“Denizde acikta bir yelkenli ve bir gemi oldugunu gorur. Konusmalarinda gemide isyan cikmis oldugunu ve isyancilarin geminin kaptanini ve ikinci kaptanini esir aldigini anlar. Adaya da onlari oldurmek icin gelmislerdir. Robin kaptani ve yardimcisini kuratarir, isyanci basini oldurur ve digerlerini de esir alir. Gemiden arkadaslarini aramaya gelen on kisiyi daha etkisiz hale getirir. Sirada ise gemiyi ele gecirmek vardir. Bazi isyancilar Robin’in tarafina gecmislerdir. Gemide sadece on bes kisi kalmistir. Robin kaptani ve arkadaslarini gemiyi ele gecirmek icin sessizce gonderir. Gemiyi ele geciren kaptan yedi defa top atisi yaparak bunu kutlar. Beklemekte olan Robin’i haberdar eder. Robin, kurtulusun geldigini dusunup, sukreder. Sabahleyin kaptan yanina bircok hediye alip, kendisini kurtaran Robin’e tesekkur icin adaya gelir. Robin birkac parca esya ve sakladigi parasini alarak 1686 yilinin 19 Aralik gunu, 28 yİl sonra adadan ayrilip Ingiltereye dogru yola cikar.”
“Having defeated the mutineers, Crusoe decides that it is time to seize the ship, and he tells the captain of his plans. The captain agrees. Crusoe and the captain intimidate the captive mutineers with a fictitious report that the island’s governor intends to execute them all but would pardon most of them if they help seize the ship. To guarantee the men’s promises, Crusoe keeps five hostages. The plan works: the rebel captain on the ship is killed, and the ship is reclaimed. When Crusoe glimpses the ship, he nearly faints from shock. In gratitude, the captain presents Crusoe with gifts of wine, food, and clothing. The mutineers are offered the chance to remain on the island in order to avoid certain execution for mutiny in England. Gratefully, they accept. On December 19, 1686, Crusoe boards the ship with his money and a few possessions and sets sail for England after twenty-eight years on the island.”
