describes the adventures of the third son 'of a good Family', who - against his parents' wishes - has his heart set on a life at sea. We follow his initial mishaps, beginning with a shipwreck near the Yarmouth Roads, and his first major adventure: kidnap by Moors. After remaining some time in slavery to a Moorish captain, Crusoe seizes his opportunity to escape in a boat along with another slave, Xury, who in turn becomes Crusoe's 'boy'. They come across a Portuguese Man o' War, whose kindly captain takes them on board and carries them safely to the Brasils
