It is important that the men gather and take the supplies form the ship because they are going to set themselves up in the house on the island. They have fresh water but will need supplies since they might get cut off from the surrounding area by the mutineers.

It is important that the man gather enough supplies from the ship because now they're going to live alone in the stockade on the island. Although they have enough supplies of water, but need other resources as well, to survive,as they might not be able to get back on the 'Hispaniola'.
