Summary:John kills Lejaune in the struggle, and he then flees the fort on the approach of the relief column. Digby finds Michael's body and, remembering a childhood promise, gives it a Viking funeral - on a pyre - before fleeing himself. He finds John and the two set off together on foot, but he is killed; only John is able to reach England, where he returns the Blue Water to Lady Brandon - as Michael had known, a copy made when she had been forced to sell the original.
