"But I cannot fix before my eye the image of his safety. I shall always remember him as seen through the open door of my room, taking, perhaps, too much to heart the mere consequences of his failure." (16.1)
In Marlow's opinion, no matter how high Jim's star climbs, his mentor will never be able to think of him as safe from his bad reputation. Though Jim may escape his past on Patusan for a while, Marlow remembers it, and since we get the story through Marlow, we can never forget it either.
Quote #11
"'It's no laughing matter. It's a disgrace to human natur' – that's what it is. I would despise being seen in the same room with one of those men.'" (18.7)

Quote #12
"To the common mind he became known as a rolling stone, because this was the funniest part; he did after a time become perfectly known, and even notorious, within the circle of his wanderings (which had a diameter of, say, three thousand miles) in the same way as an eccentric character is known to a whole countryside." (19.2)
Jim intends to disappear through his wanderings, but instead the exact opposite happens: his wanderings make him even more "notorious." Nice try, Jimmy.
