Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes
imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is
simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side
of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to
death or live like 'Robinson Crusoe', waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is
an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find
out.
Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there
longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Island to Miami to have it
repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly located a small rubber
dinghy with food, matches, water and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they
arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no
water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain- water in the rubber
dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat.
They caught lobsters and fish every day, and , as one of them put it ' ate like kings' ! When a
passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had
to leave.
