(1 x 10 = 10)
I designed after my first voyage, to spend the rest of my days at Baghdad, but it was not
longer. I grew weary of an indolent life, and I put to sea a second time, with merchants of known
probity. We embarked on board of a good ship, and after recommending ourselves to God, set
sail. One day we landed on an Island covered with several sorts of fruit-trees, but we could see
neither man or animal. We walked in the meadows along the streams that watered them. Whilst
some diverted themselves with gathering flowers, and other fruits. I took my wine and
provisions, and sat down near a stream between two high trees, which afforded a delightful
shade. I made a good meal, and afterwards fell asleep. I cannot tell how long I slept, but when I
awoke the ship was no longer in view.
In this sad condition, I was ready to die with grief. I cried out in agony, beat my head and
breast, and threw myself upon the ground, where I lay some time, overwhelmed by a rushing
current of thoughts, each more distressing than the last. When I gazed towards the object, which
was so distant that at first could not distinguish what it was.
As I approached, I thought it to be a white dome, of a prodigious height and extent. I drew
near to it, and walked round it, but found no door to it, and fount that I had neither strength nor
activeness to climb it, on account of its exceeding smoothness. I made a mark at the place where
I stood, and went round the dome, measuring its circumference, and lo! it was fifty full paces,
and I meditated upon some means of gaining an entrance into it, but no means of accomplishing
this occurred to me.
By this time the sun was about to set and all of a sudden the sky became as dark as if it had
been covered with thick cloud. I was much astonished at this sudden darkness but much more
when I found it occasioned by a bird of a most extraordinary size, that came flying towards me. I
remembered that I had often heard marines speak of a miraculous bird called the roc, and
conceived that the great dome which I so much admired must be her egg. Shortly afterwards, the
bird alighted, and sat over the egg.
V. Letter Writing:
