The other sailors' names were Prince, Fenner and Mackintosh.
Mr.Hazel urged Morgan to put the crew and passengers on short allowance at once, viz., two biscuits a day, and four tablespoonfuls of water.

But Morgan was a common sailor; he could not see clearly very far ahead; and, moreover, his own appetite counteracted this advice; he dealt out a pound of biscuit and an ounce of ham to each person, night and morning, and a pint of water in course of the day.
Mr.Hazel declined his share of the ham, and begged Miss Rolleston so earnestly not to touch it, that she yielded a silent compliance.
On the fourth day the sailors were all in good spirits, though the provisions were now very low.

They even sang and spun yarns.

This was partly owing to the beauty of the weather.
On the fifth day Morgan announced that he could only serve out one biscuit per day.

And this sudden decline caused some dissatisfaction and alarm.
Next day the water ran so low that only a teaspoonful was served out night and morning.
There were murmurs and forebodings.
In all heavy trials and extremities some man or other reveals great qualities, that were latent in him, ay, hidden from himself.
