In addition, the ship is transporting a number of animals which belong to Montgomery.Īs the ship approaches the island, the captain demands Prendick leave the ship with Montgomery. Prendick also meets a grotesque bestial native named M'ling who appears to be Montgomery's manservant.
A passing ship takes him aboard and a man named Montgomery revives him. The Island of Doctor Moreau is the account of one Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked Englishman with a scientific education.
