Moreau catches up to him and explains that the creatures called the Beast Folk were not formerly men, but rather, animals. He makes it to the ocean, where he plans to drown himself rather than allow Moreau to experiment on him.

Suddenly, Moreau bursts into the colony looking for Prendick, but Prendick escapes into the jungle. Their leader is a large grey thing named the Sayer of the Law, who has him recite a strange litany called the Law that involves prohibitions against savage behavior and praise for Moreau. Prendick flees into the jungle, where he meets an Ape-Man who takes him to a colony of similar half-human/half-animal creatures. Prendick now believes Moreau has been vivisecting humans and that he is the next test subject. Seeing that the door to Moreau’s operating room has been left unlocked, he walks in to find a humanoid form lying in bandages on the table, and then is thrown out by an angry Moreau. Prendick wakes up the next morning with the previous night’s events on his mind. When Prendick returns to Moreau’s compound, he questions Montgomery, but Montgomery refuses to reveal anything. As his pursuer gains on him, Prendick manages to stun him with a stone, and sees that the pursuer is a monstrous hybrid of animal and man. He panics and flees, but the stranger chases him. As he walks back, Prendick suddenly realizes he is being followed by something in the jungle. While he wanders, he encounters a group of people who seem human but also resemble swine. Prendick assumes Moreau is performing a painful experiment on the animal, and its anguished cries drive Prendick into the jungle. The next day, Moreau begins working on a puma.

Prendick remembers that he has heard of Moreau, formerly a physiologist in London, who had fled England after his gruesome experiments in vivisection had been publicly exposed. Seeing that the captain has abandoned Prendick, Montgomery takes pity and takes him in. Montgomery explains that he will not be able to host Prendick on the island, but nonetheless, the captain leaves Prendick in a dinghy and sails away. As they approach the island, the captain demands that Prendick leave the ship with Montgomery. The ship is transporting a number of animals, which belong to Montgomery. Prendick also meets a grotesque native named M’ling, who appears to be Montgomery’s servant. A passing ship takes him aboard, and a man named Montgomery revives him. It is an account of Edward Prendick, an Englishman with a scientific education who survives a shipwreck in the southern Pacific Ocean. The Island of Doctor Moreau is an 1896 novel by H.
