His mother and his brother had turned against him , and were persecuting him to the best of their ability . He had come on board to gain his purpose by conciliation ; he had failed , and , in his own view , there was nothing left for him but revenge . The boat touched at Burlington , and to the great relief of Lawry , his brother followed Mr. Sherwood on shore . At three o'clock the _ Woodville _ returned from Port Kent with the happy excursionists . While the steamer lay at the wharf , waiting for Mr. Sherwood , many persons , moved by curiosity to inspect the beautiful craft , came aboard ; and whenever she stopped , she had plenty of visitors of this description . Among them Lawry saw his brother , accompanied by two men , who , from the remarks they made , were evidently familiar with the machinery and appointments of steamers . Mr. Sherwood presently appeared attended by a bank messenger with the precious coin he had purchased at 2.44 , the telegraphic quotation from New York for that day .
