Kit has the suspicion that the sailors are from the Dolphin. When she goes down to the town square, she does indeed see the Dolphin sailors and Nat in the docks. A group of young boys are throwing mud and fruit at them. As a part of their punishment, the sailors will have to pay a fine and are forbidden from coming into town ever again. Kit is very upset to see Nat in such a situation. She asks him if he needs anything, or if there is anything she can do. She is rebuffed.
