Captain Robert Bragg is buried at sea and Catherine asks Baines if he can recommend a reliable captain for the "Amarillos", which she has now inherited and plans to keep. Baines is obviously attracted to her but recommends a captain Blake telling Catherine that he would be too set in his ways and rough and ready for her. Letty tells Charlotte that she is to go to Aunt Mary's for a 'holiday', after which the baby will be adopted. She says that she never wants to see it.
