Joe, Betsy and Susanna go and meet Mary Ellen, the little girl the captain tells them about. Mary Ellen's dress becomes torn from the steps of the carriage. Betsy steps in and offers to fix the dress. Mary Ellen is overjoyed because her dress is good as new. Mr Baker Hands the children 2 shillings and a whole sovereign for helping with Mary Ellen. Betsy is pleased and can't wait to decide what to spend the money on.
