Secret benefactor from the East Indiaman to Barton
An elegant elder woman, Mrs Captain George Effingham of Salem, visits John Gordon to reveal a hidden benefactor behind Barton’s aid to a penniless youth. She explains that Barton’s rescue saved many others and that she will write once the end comes, while Gordon contemplates the broader charity network among the city’s poor.
