On January 4 and 5, the voyagers were completely tired after rigorous practice of continuous pumping. It was on the January 4 that they ate their first meal in almost two days. After a short respite, they continued to face bad weather conditions and by the morning of January 5, the situation grew desperate.
The narrator tried to comfort the children. But it is worth noting that in spite of so many difficulties, the children displayed immense fearlessness. Jonathan confessed that they are not afraid to die as long as they all are together. Though this inspired the narrator to fight the sea, by that evening he was sure that their end was fast approaching. It was only because of the moral support of his children that he continued to make efforts.

There was very little water in the boat left to be drained out, maybe a few millimeters. As the mainmast was being demolished, they raised the storm jib. They consumed some corned beef and crackers, their first meal in two days.
The black clouds returned on the morning of January 5 as the weather quickly began to change. There was a lot of death anxiety. They were experiencing severe mental strain. He was told by his son Jonathan that as long as they were all together, he didn't dread dying. This gave him the willpower to battle the sea.
