One day, as they were sailing across a few mountains, the ship captain said he had lost their way and didn't know where they were. Suddenly, the ship crashed into a sea rock. The ship got wrecked. Many crew members drowned, and a few members, along with Sindbad, managed to swim and reach an island.

They started to explore the island. They couldn't find anything to eat. But they found diamonds, rubies, gems, and precious gems. Sindbad collected some in a bag. All the crew members except Sindbad died of starvation. Sindbad built a raft, took the gem bag, and started drifting along the course of the river for days.
