This is because the sailors challenged her to prove her skills and bravery by climbing to the highest point on the ship, which is the royal yard. Stealing Capt. Jaggery's key to the gun safe and climbing out to the end of the bowsprit may also require courage, but they do not necessarily demonstrate the same level of skill and physical ability as climbing to the top of the royal yard.

This suggests that Captain Jaggery intends to create a situation where there is a mutiny among the crew members, and he wants the passengers to be present to see the rebellion and the subsequent punishment that he will impose on the mutineers.

The act of rejoining with her family indicates that there may be underlying complexities and obstacles that Charlotte will have to navigate in order to readjust to her previous life.
