つ。これは夜中に私の部屋に来れば必ず音がして私の眠りを覚ます為
である。また次にフライデーの部屋を堅固にした。すなわち外垣の近くに一本の大
木があって家を覆っている。その木によって穹形に板を架け、藁を
以って葺くこと甚だ厚くした。この内に居住させた。また戸はなく一つの梯子を立てかけた。
梯子の下に一つの石を置き、夜中もし私の部屋に至ろうと欲すれば石を
撃って私の眠りを覚ますべきである。そうすれば私は起きて梯子を設置し与
えよう。昼間は親しく同居するけれども夜は甚だ隔絶している。まだその心
中を明察していないからである。○日を追ってその忠誠を明らかにした。彼が
私を見ることは父のようである。故に私もまた子のようにこれより堅
固な備えを撤去した。○ある日彼に示すのに私の言葉を以ってした。その
言葉は「天が人を生むのは猶陶工が粘土を以って種々の壺を
【左丁】
造り成すがごとし。壺は上面に大口があるけれども未だかつてその体の
粗悪が己の意に協わないとて陶工を責めない。人もまたその殃
禍を以って天を怨むること勿れ」と。○言語が通じることは難しかったので
先ず許多の器物の名を教えた。○初めフライデーを扶けてより三四
日を経て人肉を嗜む癖を止めさせようと山に入って山羊
を猟った時に、羊の二匹の子を引いて走るのを見てフライデーに指
して猟することを示した。フライデーは応じない。私が銃を放つとフライデーは魄
を失って地に倒れた。漸く起きて戦慄して止まない。左右に
己の衣裘を視て裂けたかと疑う様子で大いに恐縮し
大声して言うこと数十言、私は一つも解さない。しかしながら按ずるに
これはフライデーが己を殺されると疑ったのである。よって手を援けて起

This was so that if he came to my room in the middle of the night, there would necessarily be a sound to wake me from my sleep. Next I fortified Friday's room. That is, near the outer fence there was one large tree that covered the house. Using that tree, I constructed boards in an arched form and thatched it very thickly with straw. I had him live inside this. Also, there was no door but one ladder leaning against it. I placed one stone under the ladder, and if he wished to come to my room in the middle of the night, he should strike the stone to wake me from sleep. Then I would get up and provide him with the ladder. During the day we lived together intimately, but at night we were greatly separated. This was because I had not yet clearly discerned his heart. ○ Day by day his loyalty became clear. He looked upon me as a father. Therefore I too regarded him as a child, and from this point I removed the fortified preparations. ○ One day I spoke to him using my words. Those words were: "Heaven's creation of people is like a potter using clay to create various pots.

Even though pots have large openings on their upper surface, they never blame the potter because their form is crude and does not accord with their own wishes. People too should not resent Heaven because of their misfortunes." ○ Since communication through language was difficult, I first taught him the names of many implements. ○ Three or four days after I first helped Friday, in order to make him stop his habit of eating human flesh, I went into the mountains to hunt goats. When I saw two young goats running, I pointed them out to Friday to show him hunting. Friday did not respond. When I fired my gun, Friday lost his soul and fell to the ground. He gradually got up but continued trembling without stopping. He looked left and right at his own clothing and fur, seeming to suspect they were torn, and was greatly frightened. He spoke loudly for dozens of words, none of which I understood. However, upon reflection, this was because Friday suspected he was going to be killed. Therefore I extended my hand to help him up
