The very first conflict that Rainsford experiences happens before he even meets Zaroff and lands on Ship-Trap island. On his yacht, Rainsford is reflectively smoking his pipe when he hears gunshots coming from the island obscured by a fog. Rainsford drops his pipe and while grabbing for it, falls into the ocean. From there, he must swim to the island in the treacherous ocean, conserving his energy in order to make it. So, the very first conflict Rainsford has is with nature and trying to survive the ocean.
