Faber decides to bury the bodies in order to give himself time to escape the area. He doesn’t have a shovel, so he digs a shallow grave by hand and covers it with foliage. Faber sails until he enters a canal and crosses under a rail bridge. He wants faster transportation, so he scuttles the boat and follows the railroad 10 miles into a small village where there is a train station. Faber catches a train to London. When the train arrives, Faber pauses long enough to get something to eat, then walks to a more affluent part of the city in search of a shop that has film processing equipment. He finds one and waits until it closes, then breaks into the shop. He processes the negatives and makes a set of 10x8 pictures. Faber worries that he might not make it home to Germany, so he decides get the set of pictures to a double agent in the Portuguese Embassy as a backup.
Bloggs is called to the countryside when five Home Guard men are reported missing. Faber’s boat is found by the search party, and a diver confirms that it was scuttled intentionally. Shortly afterward, the bodies of the five men are found.
