after Turner travels to the island

Reason: Turner’s visit to Malaga is when he first sees the island community and the town’s hostile attitude toward them. After he goes there the author shows the contrast between Malaga residents’ lives and Phippsburg’s prejudice (including talk of eviction and the town’s plans), which develops the central conflict.
