Stran 152 - Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Stran 148 - I came home to my fortification, not feeling, as we say, the ground I went on, but terrified to the last degree, looking behind me at every two or three steps, mistaking every bush and tree, and fancying every stump at a distance to be a man...
Stran 43 - I got upon my feet, and endeavoured to make on towards the land as fast as I could, before another wave should return and take me up again.

Stran 195 - I was very well pleased with him. In a little time I began to speak to him, and teach him to speak to me; and, first, I made him know his name should be Friday, which was the day I saved his life.
