Describe at least one incident in which money was given to support Slocum's journey.

People were generous with Slocum all along the route. In Australia Slocum received a particularly surprising donation. Slocum returned to the Spray one day to find a note from a lady who wanted to support the voyage. The lady, who seemed sad and appreciative for Slocum's efforts, left a letter and included a 5 pound note. Slocum never knew the identity of his benefactor.
