I had spent the winter in England, but soon became restless.
I said farewell to my wife and family to seek my fortune across the sea once more.
The wide world waited for me.
But sea voyages don't always go to plan.
A huge storm blew up, and when it passed, we found ourselves...
Land on!
at an island.
Food and water.
We get what we need and set sail.
And men, stay armed.
It was barren and rocky.
I set off alone to explore, but I found nothing.
When I returned to the beach...
Run!
Back to the boat!
There you go!
The men were already back in the boat, rowing for their lives, and...
A huge creature was chasing them, like a man, but so tall.
