Chapter Two
In the second chapter, a young man has found Edward Prendick. Prendick is still recovering from starvation, lack of water and heat burn so; he is pretty oblivious to his surroundings. The setting takes place in a small and untidy cabin where Edward Prendick is found. He woke up in this cabin to a young man who appears to be someone in the medical field. The man is holding his wrist and asking him questions. Shortly, after, Prendick woke up to the man holding his wrist they starred at each other and heard a strange noise which distracted Prendick. The young man is telling Prendick about the way he found him and the condition he was in. However, Prendick introduces his interlocutor named Montgomery. Montgomery states he injected Edward Prendick with something that taste like blood, but made him stronger. The medicine or stuff that was injected into Prendick made him “insensible for nearly thirty hours.”(6) Prendick continuously heard the strange noise while in the cabin, but ignored it and asked for something to eat. As Prendick memory began to recover he started to enlighten the other men about himself. Yet, Prendick continued to hear the strange sound but, this last time he heard it, the noise startled him an as he went to ask Montgomery about the noise, the interlocutor ran out of the door. After one day of sleep, Prendick felt fully recovered and was able to walk on his own. That morning when Prendick woke up he asked Montgomery for clothes and the destination of the ship. Montgomery told him that the captain was a drunk so do not get on his bad side and the ship was headed to Hawaii.
