Adrift at sea, Robinson Crusoe realizes
he is almost to the shore.
Robinson Crusoe is an excellent
swimmer and navigates rough
waves.
The waves pick up Crusoe two more
times, but he holds fast to a rock
and eventually makes it to shore.
The sea deposits Crusoe on land, but he
does not make it far before another wave
crashes over him.
Crusoe attempts to guide himself to the
shore by shooting his hands above the
water.
Pulled underwater once again, Crusoe
holds his breath as he waits for the
waves to cease.
