CHAPTER

The Orphan, Richard Parker and the Lifeboat

Four men are stranded on a ship 700 miles from land. They have no fresh water, so start drinking their own urine. After two weeks the cabin boy becomes extremely unwell and falls into a coma. Out of desperation they kill him and all three of them cannibalize his body. Four days after being rescued by a passing ship you return to the uk. And explain what happened - but public opinion is clearly on your side. You're taken to trial, and it goes all the way to the high court.
