Character Sketch of Hasan:
Hasan was the Serang (an Asian head of lascar crew) of the ship Ranaganji which was sailing from Liverpool to India. He was a squat, very ugly native seaman, with short legs and large disproportionate head.
He was a Muslim by Religion. He was born in Punjab from where his family moved to south.
He liked a seafaring life and spent forty years in various ships. It was his fifteenth year in Ranaganji.
The captain of the ship Mr. Hamble gave just Hasan as the assistant when the young and inexperienced doctor reported an outbreak of smallpox on board. The captain was confident of Hasan. He nursed the patients with dedication and was unmindful of the danger to himself. It was his calm and unperturbed nature that gave the doctor fresh heart. When a patient died he would recite words from Ramayana, sewed their shrouds and would give them a watery burial.
On shore he had no home, no family or friends. All his possessions contained in his chest might worth a few rupees.
He had no fondness for speech. He was unmistakably sincere, completely detached from the usual hope of reward. Money had no interest in him. He had courage, self-control and faith.
