Convinced his friend would survive, he told the coast guard where they had parted.”可知， Henderson相信自己的朋友能够活下来，他把他们分开的地方告诉海岸警卫队队员。由此可知， Henderson试图让他们两个人都能得救。4.推理判断题。根据第八段中的“He reminded himself constantly there were no trees.”可知，他需要克服幻觉，所以意志非常坚定。根据倒数第二段中的“He promised to realize his wishes and look after his girls.”可知，他保证会履行承诺，帮朋友照顾孩子们，所以非常忠诚。
