> Echoes from Afar. By Alun Richards
> Description by Viv Dodd.
> James and Baines are on the Charlotte Rhodes. James has a fever but has
> plans for trade with Brazil. Frazer, also, is looking to the country that
> is
> due to build railways and needs coal. Caroline Maudsley hears her uncle
> and
> Fogarty talking about taking a steamer up a tidal river.
> Meanwhile, in Portugal, Braghanza's son,Jose, is refusing to go to England
> to help with the wine business – he is more interested in studying
> tropical
> sea shells! Braghanza writes to James to ask for his help.
> In Liverpool, Captain Webster is agitated because he cannot find a sight
> of
> the steamship `Anne Onedin' and he tells a rather distracted Robert but
> Sarah is tiring of having to look after him and James' daughter Charlotte.
> Nobody is on the quay to greet James but the preparations of a meal and
> the
> young, attentive Leonora wait at home. She receives little gratitude and
> attention as James reads the letter from Braghanza; Sarah brings news and
> complains about Webster who then enters to pester James about his failure
> to
> find the Anne Onedin. James confirms the old man's findings and says "
> Robert's nowhere to be found which probably means he knows summat and
> doesn't want to tell us"
> Capt Webster is dispatched to Portugal with Baines to look after him.
> James
> challenges Frazer about the Anne Onedin. Frazer maintains that James has
> lost the ship because bills have outstripped her value and she has been
> sold, leaving a balance of £1,000 – the Wirral Steam Navigation Company
> now
> own her – a ship for which £100,000 worth of shares were floated. James
> leaves Frazer's office bewildered and still feverish. Caroline sees him
> leave and Frazer confides to her that he believes James to be on `the
> downward path'.
> Caroline finds out that the Anne Onedin has been renamed the `Scotch Lass'
> and Frazer is the chief shareholder of the Wirral Company and tells James.
> Fogarty is sent to Greenock where the Scotch Lass is moored to sail her to
> Brazil. Leonora and Caroline meet at James' house – neither shows much
> degree of friendship.
> Jose has been tricked into boarding the ship to Liverpool and James
> introduces him to Elizabeth to appease and entertain him but James is now
> well again and determined to outwit Frazer over the ship and Brazil trade.
