But all these things, with an account how 300 Caribees came and invaded them, and ruin'd their plantations, and how they fought with that whole number twice, and were at first defeated, and three of them kill'd; but at last a storm destroying their enemies' canoes, they famish'd or destroy'd almost all the rest, and renew'd and recover'd the possession of their plantation, and still liv'd upon the island; all these things, with some very surprizing incidents in some new adventures of my own, for ten years more, I may perhaps give a farther account of hereafter.
I just think that is so hilarious, how it keeps going on and on and on ...
I'm guessing here, so be kind: Robinson Crusoe? Who "...still liv'd upon the island"?

I just think it's such an amusing line. It reads like a little kid trying to cram it all in before having to go up to bed.
"And then this happened, and then that happened, and then this happened, and then that happened ..." - being dragged up the stairs.
