Answer 1

Answer:

On January 4, after 36 hours of continuous pumping, they could pump the water out. Mary found some corned beef and biscuits. They ate their first meal in almost two day But their respite was short lived. At 4 pm black clouds began building up behind them. The wind was back to 40 knots and the wave rose high. By the morning of January 5, the situation was again grim. The narrator and Mary sat together holding hands in the evening. Both of them felt that the end was very near.
