道格拉斯的脱离奴隶身份计划

您能相信弗雷德里克道格拉斯一生的命运完全掌控在一位火车随车服务员的手中吗？道格拉斯在他1881年出版的自传「弗雷德里克道格拉斯的生平与时代」 (Life and Times of Frederick Douglass) 中，描述他在一列巴尔的摩市出发，开往费城的火车上的大胆脱逃行动。在旅程中，道格拉斯身穿红衬衫、头戴帆布制帽子并在脖子上松松地绑了一条黑色围巾，将自己伪装成一名水手。另外，他也必须让自己听起来就像是个水手「我对船及水手行话的了解帮了我很大的忙，因为我对船知之甚详，从它的内龙骨到它的桅顶横桁，我无一不知。而且跟水手说话时，我听起来就像一位老水手」；除了伪装外，您认为道格拉斯还需要些什么？

Besides a disguise, what else do you think Douglass needed?
