"'Lookee here!' said my convict to the seargant. 'Singlehanded I got clear of the prison-ship; I made a dash and I done it. I could ha' got clear of these death-cold flats likewise-- look at my leg: you won't find much iron on it-- if I hadn't made discovery that he was here. Let him go free? Let him profit by the means as I found out? Let him make a tool of me afresh abd again? Once more? No, no, no. If I had died at the bottom there"-- and he made an emphatic swing at the ditch with his manacled hands-- "I'd have held him with that grip, that you should have been safe to find him in my hold.'" (ch5; pg35)
my question about this paragraph is why would a convict go to such lengths to make sure that a fellow convict was captured? It seems more beneficial for the two of them to work together. Plus, the first convict must have known that he would get caught, so why would he make such a stupid decision? Does he just figure that he will be able to escape again?
Please help!

Group Essay Colaboration
Well group members, I haven't really changed anything in my paragraph. It is still pretty much the same. As for questions, I am wondering if any of you guys have any ideas for the conclusion paragraph. I am having trouble thinking of ways to reword the thesis. Any ideas?
