Maxwell Kidd · Answer 1

Jerry and his mother are in a foreign place.

Explanation:

This can be deducted by a phrase in the excerpt:

"They were of that coast, all of them burned smooth dark brown, and speaking a language he did not understand"

If they were speaking a language that he did not understand, it was most likely a foreign language. If it was a foreign language, they probably were in a foreign place.
