As the sole survivor of his ship, he struggles to survive, eventually domesticating animals. After years of solitude, he discovers that a tribe of cannibals has visited the island. He rescues on of their captives, who takes the name "Friday" for the day of his rescue. Together, Crusoe and Friday adventure on.
