Flucker says, "the ship Mount Vivian sails from Salem, for Calcutta, fourteen days from this date." Flucker needs to know what arrangements he should make. He has lawsuits pending against him and say "honour" compels him to stay in Boston. "Prison" might be his home as a result. Flucker seems to imply he might be able to escape with the assistance of Knox.
