And thus I left the Island，the Nineteenth of December，as I found by the Ship's Account，in the Year 1686，after I had been upon it eight and twenty Years，two Months，and 19 Days；being deliver'd from this second Captivity，the same Day of the Month，that I first made my Escape in the Barco-Longo，from among the Moors of Sallee.
In this Vessel，after a long Voyage，I arriv'd in England，the Eleventh of June，in the Year 1687，having been thirty and five Years absent.
When I came to England，I was as perfect a Stranger to all the World，as if I had never been known there. My Benefactor and faithful Steward，who I had left in Trust with my Money，was alive；but had had great Misfortunes in the World；was become a Widow the second Time，and very low in the World：I made her easy as to what she ow'd me，assuring her，I would give her no Trouble；but on the contrary，in Gratitude to her former Care and Faithfulness to me，I reliev'd her as my little Stock would afford，which at that Time would indeed allow me to do but little for her；abut I assur'd her，I would never forget her former Kindness to me；nor did I forget her，when I had sufficient to help her，as shall be observ'd in its Place.
I went down afterwards into Yorkshire；but my Father was dead，and my Mother，and all the Family extinct，except that I found two Sisters，and two of the Children of one of my Brothers；and as I had been long ago given over for dead，there had been no Provision made for me；so that in a Word，I found nothing to relieve，or assist me；and that little Money I had，would not do much for me，as to settling in the World.
