- Character sketch of Hassan
- Hassan was a short-legged native seaman who was squat and incredibly unattractive.
- His head was also disproportionately large.
- A devoted Muslim, he was. He was born in Punjab and then moved with his family to the south.
- He spent forty years aboard several ships and preferred a life at sea.
- He had just entered his fifteenth year in Ranaganji. The ship's captain, Mr. Hamble, only assigned Hasan as a helper when the young and inexperienced doctor reported a smallpox outbreak on board.
- Hassan had the captain's trust. He devotedly cared for the patients, completely unaware of the risk to himself.
- The doctor's faith was restored by his unwavering composure. When a patient passed away, he would recite passages from the Ramayana, sew their shrouds, and carry out a wet burial.
- He had no family, friends, or home on land. A few rupees may be the total value of everything in his chest.
