「砂中に埋めた死体を食べよう」と告げた。私は大いに驚き、吐く
仕草を示してその食べてはならないことを説明した。○翌日フライデーを連れ
て丘の上より望遠鏡で覗くと、凶人たちはすでに二人の追手の死体
を捨てて去っている。ただ一艘の舟を繋いだままにしていない。そこでフライデーに大刀と
弓矢を持たせ、また一丁の銃を携帯させた。私は二丁の銃を執り
て彼らの宴会場所に至り、その食事の跡を調べると、まだ肉の付いた骨
があり、流れた血がしたたって土を汚していた。私は人肉の焼かれた食べ
残しを見て戦慄した。これはきっと彼らの国の習俗で、他国を侵
して無闇に人を捕らえ、この島に来て食べたものと見える。三つの頭蓋
骨、五つの手骨、四つの臀骨・脛骨があった。フライデーは見て戦慄し、
「凶人たちは元々四人を食べようとしていた。一人は即ち私である」と言って自ら
【左丁】
顔を指し、かつ私に遇って免れたことを感謝した。○私はフライデーに命じて
この人の骨肉が散乱しているのを集めさせた。自ら木を伐り、周囲
に積み、火を放って焼いた。○これはすなわち火葬の意である。私が火を放ち
焼くとき、フライデーはその一切れの肉を食べようと口によだれを流した。私は
怒り威を奮って大刀を挙げて斬って両断にしようとした。フライデーは
叩頭して謝った。そこで懇切に人肉を食べてはならないことを説明した。○ある日
フライデーに木綿の袴一つ、羊の裘一つ、兎皮の尖帽一つ、袖套一つを与えた。
裘と帽は私の手製で、甚だ巧みである。これで彼の裸体を覆った。
彼は大いに悦んだ。また彼の身体に合わない所があったので、補い広め
て授けたところ、いよいよ悦び感謝した。○フライデーのために一室を選
んだ。その部屋は私の内外の壁の間にある。一つの戸を設け、私の部屋と隔て

He told me he would eat the corpses buried in the sand. I was greatly surprised and showed him the gesture of vomiting to explain that he must not eat them. ○ The next day I led Friday up to the hill and looked through the telescope, and the hostile men had already abandoned the two pursuers' corpses and departed. They had not left even one boat moored there. So I had Friday carry the cutlass and bow and arrows, and also made him carry one gun. I took two guns and went to their feast site, and when I examined the remains of their meal, there were still bones with meat attached, and spilled blood was dripping and staining the earth. I shuddered when I saw the roasted remains of human flesh. This was surely the custom of their country - to invade other lands, capture people indiscriminately, come to this island and eat them. There were three skulls, five hand bones, and four hip bones and shin bones. Friday saw them and shuddered, saying "The hostile men originally intended to eat four people. One of them was myself," and he pointed to his own

face and thanked me for meeting me and being saved. ○ I ordered Friday to gather up the scattered bones and flesh of these people. I cut down wood myself, piled it around, and set fire to burn them. ○ This was the intention of cremation. When I set the fire and burned them, Friday drooled from his mouth, wanting to eat a piece of that meat. I became angry and brandished my authority, raising the cutlass to cut him in two. Friday kowtowed and apologized. Then I earnestly explained that human flesh must not be eaten. ○ One day I gave Friday one pair of cotton trousers, one sheep fur coat, one rabbit fur pointed cap, and one pair of sleeves. The fur coat and cap were made by my own hand and were quite skillful. With these I covered his naked body. He was greatly pleased. Also, there were places where they did not fit his body, so I supplemented and enlarged them and gave them to him, whereupon he was even more pleased and grateful. ○ I selected one room for Friday. That room was between my inner and outer walls. I installed one door to separate it from my room
