In this part of the story, Seacole was in Cruces, trying to find the bright side of Cruces life. She would deal with the problem that was occuring in there, which was that one of her brother's friend's died due to cholera, which was contagious. She told everyone that he died from the disease but they were not happy, "The Cruces people were mightily angry with me for expressing such an opinion; even my brother, although it relieved him of the odium of a great crime, was as annoyed as the rest" (pg. 30) In the end though, they realized that she was right with the Chlorea and so she ended up being asked for advice.
