They had travelled from India to England, and were travelling back to India, when the ship burnt out. They were rescued by "The Endevour"  and that ship took them to Endurance Island. There were a few inhabitants that lived on "Tristan Da Cuhna", and a few people at a time were taken from Endurance to Tristan. There were  80+ passengers  in total that were moved . After a few months a ship came to pick up the people , stuck on the island.By now Stephen and Peggy had met each other on the Island.  8 men were staying behind on Tristan. They ware to check out how habitable Tristan Da Cuhna was, and worked with the few locals. As the resque ship was getting ready to leave with the rest of the survivers, Stephen asked Mr Glass, (The Man in Charge) would Peggy be allowed to stay with him, if she accepted.  Mr Glass said yes and Peggy was taken off the ship by her own concent.
