And what were conditions aboard this new ship, like this American ship?
Much better, much better.
He was treated well.
He was eventually signed on as a full crewman, so he was given all the privileges.
And his captain at the end of the voyage gave him a very good reference.
Dexter was keen, intelligent, willing, so he was an asset on board a ship.
So where did this American ship take him?
I guess it points out something about his character and personality, but also something about the age, that it was nothing particularly unusual about a boy of his age being on his own on the other side of the world.
Look, he gets a job.
He gets a job in a biscuit factory.
He finds himself somewhere to live.
He ends up getting in a fight.
He was always getting into fights.
He was a bit of a pugilist and loses his job.
So he gets another one running lifts in a hospital next to Central Park.
He's enterprising and he gets by.
Is that right?
That's right.
So his brother calls into New York.
He's captain.
