He tells the ending of the story first, and then explains how it happened so that the reader knows the emotions colonel Owens feels after their escape.
Explanation: Charles Chesnutt gives a general idea of how the characters end up at the beginning of the story so that the reader is aware of where is everything leading up to. He then tells the journey of the Colonel's son and the slave he saved; Grandison, since he looked trustworthy to the Colonel. After a series of events, the author chooses to finally reveal how unfortunate the Colonel feels after catching a glimpse of Grandison and his family escaping on a boat.

Sentence 10: '<span>Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of its clean and safe enough to drink.'

The word "its" in this sentence needs an apostrophe to become "it's". The sentence, without the contraction, would read "only some of it is clean", so when you put "it is" together, there needs to be an apostrophe. "Its" without an apostrophe becomes possessive (ex. a country needs its water), which does not make sense in the context of this question.
