Van Warwick was a Dutch sailor.
Van Warwick and his friends
were on their voyage to the
East Indies.
They set out for the voyage
withaeetofeightshipsinall.
As they approached Madagascar,
they were caught in a storm.
Three ships got separated from
therestoftheeet.
These three ships, however,
continued on their way to the East
Indies.
Van Warwick’s ship, along with the
four other ships, were damaged and
badly needed repair. The sailors did
not have fresh water and food and
were tired and desperate.
After a few days, the wind pushed
these ships towards the shore of an
unknown island. The sailors were
overjoyed to see land at last!
