Although they had a rough trip they are overjoyed to be free and to be able to visit their president.  Once they get there they are devastated to hear that the president had been assassinated not long before their arrival.  Now what will they do?

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;"  This is saying how Abraham has died, and now he can't do anything so now they have to hope for someone as respectful, wise as him and who knows whats right to come along and help them.
