How does the Master redirect the crowd's anger 'The Hobbit'?

In The Hobbit why does the Master of Laketown help the dwarves and lets the company go to the mountain?
Pretty much because everyone else did "As for the Master he saw there was nothing else for it but to obey the general clamor." He didn't think it was very likely that they were who they said they were. The Master was cowardly but cunning. He didn't think it wise to oppose the crowd, and remained fearful of the unlikely possibility that they actually were who they claimed to be. He wanted to appear hospitable in case and needed to wait it out.
How does the Master further prove to be a poor leader in Chapter 14?
When it seemed apparent Smaug would destroy Esgaroth the Master was looking for a way to get to his gilded boat and save himself in the confusion. After Bard had slain the dragon the people of the town wanted to name him king and the Master was the only one who dissented and named Bard a mere fighting man who could go back and rule over a destroyed Dale. And finally, the Master turned the blame on the Dwarves so the people would forget his cowardice and keep him as Master of Esgaroth. He never thought of his people but only himself.
