The oiler died because Crane was trying to make a point about humankind and nature. Crane was writing during the Naturalistic time period (a branch off of realism). He supported the idea that Nature was a strong, powerful force that could do whatever it wanted. No matter how much we prayed, fought, or were fit physically to survive, it didn't matter. Nature could do whatever she wanted. In this story, the oiler, who is the most logical person to survive, dies. He is physically fit, and seems strong in his escapade towards the shore. It is shocking when the reader notices that the cook (who counted on the ocean to paddle his body-canoe to shore), the injured captain, and the lucky correspondent who catches a life-saving wave to shallow water all survive rather than the oiler. This proves that Nature doesn't always pick through Darwinism, and may simply chose by manner of chance. Why? Because it can.
