The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Records of a Family of Engineers by Robert Louis Stevenson: result.
About six o'clock in the evening the ship's company was
heard moving upon deck, which on the present occasion was
rather the cause of alarm. The writer accordingly rang his
bell to know what was the matter, when he was informed by the
steward that the weather looked considerably better, and that
the men upon deck were endeavouring to ship the smoke-funnel
of the galley that the people might get some meat. This was a
more favourable account than had been anticipated. During the
last twenty-one hours he himself had not only had nothing to
eat, but he had almost never passed a thought on the subject.
