This doesn't sit well with Davis, and once Montgomery and his cargo are off-loaded on the unnamed island, he promptly kicks Prendick's butt to the curb, erm. When Montgomery and Davis argue over Montgomery's animal cargo, Prendick unwisely chooses to side with the guy who isn't the captain of the ship he's currently residing on rent free. The same can't be said for Captain Davis though. On the ship, a man named Montgomery gives him the medical once-over, and the two quickly become friends. Prendick drifts for days, before being rescued by a passing ship, the Ipecacuanha. We'll leave the original spelling in quotes.) Low on food, water, and sanity, the other two dudes fight each other and fall into the ocean where a shark goes all Jawson them. Prendick's dinghy was definitely dingy, but 'dingey'… weird. (In Wells's day "dinghy" was spelled "dingey". Right away, he barely survives the sinking of the ship The Lady Vain, escaping on a dinghy with two other guys. He's decided to tell us his story and wastes no time getting to the good stuff.
