Eventually, the pirates return but they're thwarted by the careful planning and traps set by the Robinsons..
After 10 years on the island, they're discovered and rescued by the captain of a ship who was seeking Jenny. The ship returns home with a journal of their adventures and a few family members, while others choose to remain on the island.
