Escape by Canoe From Savage Island Peril
The stranded crew hesitate to violence, deny mutiny, and plan a risky voyage back to the mainland. After five days ashore they bribe Antonio to ferry them, dividing their party to seize the continent voyage with six aboard including Monsieur la Couture and family, Desclau, the narrator, and a slave. They fear pursuit by rival savages and forebode further misfortune as they set out with limited provisions for a two day journey.
