As the Jolly Roger approaches the island, Black Stache spies “a line of footprints in the sand” (227). He orders a landing party to prepare. Meanwhile, Slank and Little Richard share a cage with a cow in the ship’s hold. Despite his strength, Little Richard cannot bend the bars of the cage enough for them to escape. When the men hear shouts about land from above, Slank ties Little Richard’s belt between the cage door and the cow. Slank orders Little Richard to milk the cow, hoping it jumps away and pulls the door open.
Peter wakes and finds Molly on the beach. He thanks her for saving his life, but Molly insists she should be thanking Peter for risking his life to help her when she so desperately needed it. Molly found a barrel of water from the Never Land, which makes Peter wonder about the fate of his friends. They drag the barrel to a hiding place in the jungle, which is “so thick Peter [can’t] see Molly a few feet ahead of him” (234). From a plateau, they see Alf and the boys on the beach. Molly also spies the Jolly Roger approaching shore.
