Will and Henry let Beanpole join them on their journey after they got to land after the boat journey. Beanpole is a smart guy and everyone in the town which he lived in thought that he was weird. Here are some reasons how Beanpole will help Will and Henry on their journey.
One of the reasons how Beanpole will help them on their journey is that Beanpole is older and he knows the landscape better than they do because he lives there and Will and Henry don't. Beanpole will know what or which way is faster or safer to travel on. Evidence that they want Beanpole to join them and that he knows the landscape is "Someone whom we already knew to be resourceful, who knew the country and the language. It was almost too good to be true" pg #69
The second reason is that with Beanpole's smartness he can build something that might help them to get pass something or to go through something. He might make something that help them travel faster or something that will just help them in any way. Evidence of his smartness is" He had quite a tremendous brain. His speaking English, for instance: he had found an old book, giving instructions in the language, and taught himself". "His eyesight was poor, and he had worked it out that, since mariners' telescopes helped sailors to see at a distance, a glass in front of each eye might enable him to see more clearly." pg #71
