> desert island?
>  A. Alexander Selkirk? Nine years. In 1703, the old pirate
> got mad at his ship's master, one Capt. William Dampier,
> and jumped overboard. Slept that night on the beach. Next
> morning he hailed the ship, but the captain just laughed
> at him and set sail. It was the same Capt. Dampier who
> saw Selkirk's campfire smoke nine years later and sent a
> boat ashore. Selkirk was still mad. Madder. Took two days
> to talk him into going aboard.
