Chapter 12
At this point in time the men’s
luck was close to running out. Only a ship with a kind crew would be able to
save them at the point they were at. That is exactly what they stumbled upon.
After three months without proper nutrition the men were basically live skeletons
they had no fat to speak of, a considerable amount of their muscles atrophied, and
shrunken internal organs. Once upon the ship the men were given small portions
of tapioca pudding. (pg. 184) When I read this I found it very odd, my first
thought was “Why tapioca pudding? That’s odd,” but after thinking about it I realized
that the nutritional value of tapioca would be tremendous and rather easy to
digest.
