Part 8, Chapter 51 Summary: “In Which Jamie Smells a Rat”

Two of the men on the Artemis also served on the Porpoise and gave Jamie instructions on how to get to the surgeon’s quarters to find Claire. But after four hours of searching, Jamie still can’t find Claire and wonders if she died from typhoid. He runs into Tompkins, who recognizes him and tells him Claire went overboard. He also shares that Jamie will be arrested in Jamaica. Jamie is struck from behind and falls unconscious, waking to see Captain Leonard, whom he immediately attacks, believing he let Claire drown. Jamie is hit again and wakes on the island of Hispaniola after the storm hits the Porpoise. Jamie has little memory of the storm but remembers a woman helping him to jump overboard and informing him that Claire isn’t dead. A French family finds him after he washes up on the beach, and one of the children mentions that a boat called the Bruja is nearby. Jamie feels hope that he will see Claire and Young Ian again.
