Eight days later, the sight of an approaching English ship alarms Friday. Crusoe and Friday eventually take over this ship and strike fear in the men aboard by holding hostages. On December 19, 1686, Crusoe boards the ship to return to England, where he eventually finds that his family is deceased except 2 of his sisters. His father had left no money to him in his will because he thought he was deceased already, but Crusoe has great fortune when he finds out that his plantations that he had bought after being a slave in Brazil had been greatly profitable. After all the crazy events that had happen to him at sea, he travels back to his homeland of England by land. Crusoe finally departs for the East Indies as a trader in 1694, and from there he goes on to revisit his island, finding that the Spaniards are governing it well and that it has become a prosperous colony.
