English: John Harmon's crawling, soaking wet, across planking towards the shore |
Date | |

Author | Marcus Stone |
Dickens and his illustrator provide a flashback that explains how John Harmon exchanged identities with George Radfoot after being drugged at "a low public-house" immediately adjacent to the Thames. His assailants dumped his almost comatose body down a chute into the murky and chilly waters of the river, in which he returned to consciousness and struggled for his life, and finally caught hold of a causeway attached to a riverside public house. This, then, is the moment upon which Marcus Stone has elaborated, the dramatic moment at which Harmon crawled ashore. The illustration is strongly impressionist, not realising the text so much as using it as a point of departure, putting the reader through the protagonist's near-death experience by engulfing the reader in the pelting rain and darkness, Harmon's body almost a wet sack rather than recognizable as a human form.
