Summer is the best time on the Island of the Blue Dolphins (海豚). The sun is warm then and the winds blow out of the west, 　1 out of the south.

　 It was 　2 these days that the ship might return and now I 　3 most of my time on the rock, 　4 out from the headland（水中凸起的陆地） into the east, towards the country　 5 my people had gone, across the 　6 that was never-ending.

　 Once 7　 I watched, I saw a small object which I took to be the ship, but a stream of water 　8 from it and I knew that it was whale (鲸鱼)spouting (喷水). During those summer days I saw nothing 　9 .

　 The first storm of winter 　10 my hopes. If the white men's ship were 　11　 　 for me it would have come during the time of good 　12 . Now I would have to wait　 13 winter was gone, maybe longer.

The thought of being 　14 on the island while so many suns rose 　15 the sea and went 　16 back into the sea 　17 my heart with loneliness. I had not felt so 18 before because I was sure 　19 the ship would return as Matasaip had said 　20 would. Now my hopes were dead.
