On May 19, 1884, a small yacht containing four men set sail from England to Australia.

On July 5th, the ship was hit by a massive wave and capsized.

The crew escaped the shipwreck on a lifeboat, but was left in a horrible situation. They were hundreds of miles from land, with no fresh water, and a single pound of turnips for food.

Three weeks later, on July 25, food was out, and the men were still adrift, and the sailors made the decision to kill and eat one of their own.
