Cheap, spared what Byron described as the “riotous applications, menaces, and disturbance of an unruly crew,” seemed renewed, engaged, alive. “He now became very brisk,” Campbell observed, “went about everywhere to get wood and water, made fires, and proved an excellent cook.”
This is what it took for Cheap. He was not able to step up to the plate under "normal" circumstances. He had to be broken, almost killed and left for dead. I wish the rest of the crew had chance to see Cheap at this point. More lives could have been saved.
