Pt 2 of 'The Wreck of the Golden Mary' finds our two lifeboats in dire straits as food and water are just about gone.

"The Wreck of the Golden Mary" is a collaborative novella published by Charles Dickens in the 1856 Christmas issue of his periodical, Household Words. The story is a dramatic, suspenseful narrative focusing on the sinking of a passenger ship and the subsequent survival efforts of those in lifeboats. 
Summary of "The Wreck of the Golden Mary"
The Voyage and Disaster: The Golden Mary, captained by William George Ravender, is en route from Liverpool to California, navigating around Cape Horn during the height of the California Gold Rush. The ship strikes an iceberg, causing it to sink.
The Lifeboats: The passengers and crew escape into two lifeboats. The first chapter, written primarily by Dickens, focuses on the harrowing, orderly evacuation led by Captain Ravender and his loyal first mate, John Steadiman.
 
Inspiration for the Story
The California Gold Rush: The story is directly set against the backdrop of the 1850s California Gold Rush, with passengers on the ship chasing fortune.
Victorian Shipwrecks: In the mid-19th century, maritime disasters were common, and narratives of survival and bravery at sea were popular. The theme of encountering icebergs was a known danger, and the story focuses on the psychological struggle of survivors facing extreme deprivation.
Collaboration: While initiated by Dickens, the story was a collaborative effort for Household Words, allowing for different perspectives on the ordeal.
"The Frozen Deep": Dickens was preparing his theatrical production of The Frozen Deep at the time, which also featured themes of Arctic survival and, likely, influenced the icy, dramatic nature of this story. 
The novella is noted for exploring human behavior under severe stress, combining intense, realistic details of the wreck with the psychological resilience of the survivors.
