What makes Bessie convinced that the young man is indeed Harry?
Solution and Explanation
When Bessie asked Harry, "Are you truly Harry Hagberd?" he was taken aback. ‘Can you back it up?' Yes, I can prove that, Harry said confidently. Harry smeared a fake beard on his chin and asked Bessie, "Do I look like him or not?" 'It's true,' Bessie said mumbling. After that, he told Bessel every detail that proved he is just Harry, such as how Mother chastised me for being idle, and the old man threatened to tear my soul out of my body rather than let me go to sea. Well, it seems that he would as well. Bessie was persuaded by Harry's memorybased information that the young man was definitely Harry.
