21、I gave the young man I had rescued bread and water I had saved. After his run and hiking to the cave, he was tired out. I showed him a blanket and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep.

As I studied him, I guessed his age at around twenty-six. He was tall with straight strong limbs (肢). The young man slept for only about a half hour before crawling out of the cave. Again he made gestures (手势) to show that he was grateful to me.

We communicated primarily by gestures at first. Soon my new servant showed himself much better at learning my language than I was at learning this. I called him Friday, for it was on Friday that I rescued him. He quickly learned “yes” and “no” and the names for various items.

We spent a full day at the cave, then returned to the beach to see if his captors (野人) remained. They had gone. Over time, Friday told me that when two tribe (部落) went to war, the victor always took away the bravest warrior (士兵) of the enemy tribe. They even ate him to get the ferocity (残暴) and courage of the warrior. I felt sick after hearing this. It sounded more than a little disgusting to me. However, Friday felt it was as natural as breathing.
