Island of the Blue Dolphins:

The girl was looking out to the Sea; she was waiting for the ship.  She dug up the chest and wore the jewelry that was in it.  Then she threw it in the sea because she got mad about it.  She made weapons – bow and arrows, spears, a little knife.  The wild dogs were watching her and she was afraid they would attack her so she kept the weapons with her wherever she goes.
