In which Dodger, a hardy street lad with a thirst for learning, embarks on a long voyage to California under the watchful tutelage of Mr Leslie, who resolves to improve the boy’s education during their sea passage; meanwhile, back in New York, Florence and Mrs O’Keefe grow uneasy as Dodger fails to return, prompting them to seek answers even within the disreputable confines of Tim Bolton’s saloon.
