In Chapter 2 of "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle," the conversation that Charlotte overhears seems to be about a mutiny being planned by the crew members of the ship, the Seahawk. Specifically, the speakers discuss their grievances with Captain Jaggery, mentioning that he is a bully and tyrant who mistreats the crew. They also mention their intention to take matters into their own hands by revolting against the captain.
