Robinson Crusoe Chapter 12 - A Cave Retreat

In which I take careful measures to safeguard my flock of goats by enclosing them in several remote, well-fenced plantations, all the while nursing a fearful apprehension of savage cannibals whose dreadful customs I discover on a distant shore of the island. After many attempts to devise means for my defence and destruction of these barbarians, I come to a sober resolution to avoid conflict and instead seek a secure refuge within a natural cave, trusting in divine providence to protect me in these solitary and perilous circumstances.
