They all work to send an expedition to Friday's land to bring back sixteen white men who have been shipwrecked there. But before they can return, an English ship arrives. Once again, all is not plain sailing, as the ship is under the command of mutineers and a battle ensues in which Crusoe and Friday help the lawful captain to regain command. Crusoe sails from the island, forgetting the money he collected from two sunken ships, and finally reaches England.
