The name "Ship Trap Island" certainly foreshadows bad things. The conversation at the beginning of the story is pretty ominous as well:

"The place has a reputation--a bad one."
"Cannibals?" suggested Rainsford.
"Hardly. Even cannibals wouldn't live in such a God-forsaken place. But it's gotten into sailor lore,
somehow. Didn't you notice that the crew's nerves seemed a bit jumpy today?"
