Chapter Fifty-four [ Stow Away Boys]

Chapter 54, "Stow Away Boys,"

David and Daniele made the decision to leave Captain Renell in charge of the situation. They were aware that, in order to avoid further disputes, Captain Renell had invited the stowaway men to come to his office to register and that he would be dropping them all off at the nearest port area.

There is a chance that harsh crew members and marine criminals operating without Renell's knowledge will endanger the lives of the black young boys if he does not tell the stowaway boys to disembark at the next port area.

The boys, however, were so obstinate that they decided to hide inside the holes. Others moved to the higher area of the hundred piles of grain sacks, evading the ruthless inspector's search.
