In chapter 7, while Philip and Gerald are aboard the Old Province, Jennison, under the pseudonym John Alexander Belmont, attempts to coerce Philip into handing Gerald over (55-56). Jennison tells Philip that if he brings Gerald off the boat while they stop at Martha's Vineyard that he will let Philip "understand things far more fully [than] he can tonight" (57). However, the Old Province never makes it to Martha's Vineyard because an explosion causes the ship to sink, and everyone must evacuate (66).
