Answer to last month's question of what enduring literary character was patterned after Scottish sailor: Alexander Selkirk was Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Our winner, Jack Hamilton (Lancaster, Tx) adds these fun facts: The island on which Selkirk was marooned was Juan Fernandez 400 miles due west of Valparaiso, Chile. Selkirk was part of a group of ships controlled by Capt. Bartholomew Sharp (Black Bart). He quarreled with his ships Capt., William Dampier and by mutual agreement was set ashore, thinking the crew would mutiny and join him. They did not! He was stranded (he had foolishly taken no food or water) for 4 years 4 months until he was rescued in Feb. 1709 when English privateers saw the smoke of his fire.
