This page moves through refusal, class insult, Mexico in 1960, Gibby on the beach in blue tennis shoes and Low Levis, Rocky's arrival, and the image of the great hobo Gibby by the sea.

The newer scan reading makes the scene more embodied and located: clothing, beach, Mexico, and Rocky's entrance replace the prior unsupported plane reading. Correcting Gibby and the clothing details sharpens continuity with the surrounding pages. The page still flickers at the lower transition, but its social comedy now has a clearer physical setting.

Mexico, 1960 — and Rocky. The Sibby on a Mexican beach, the 'Get out of here, go ahead / Christ!' outburst against collared horn-honking guys, and the closing image of the great hobo Sibby by the sea. The page is one of the draft's most recognizably located scenes; the prior transcription had obscured that by misreading Mexico as 'Nehui' and Rocky as 'Rogers.'
