Shanty duel schemes and town flight amid stock theft crisis
Barry Lapelle plots a strategic exit from a river town as Jack Trentman organizes a forced escape to dodge a murder accusation. Barry accuses rival Martin Hawk of jail time for stock theft while Gwynne, the alleged lawyer, may be connected. The scene shifts to a public license notice warning merchants and traders in Caroline county about Maryland license requirements and rates for various trades and brokers.
