The Bird Message In Palmyra's Island Crisis

Palmyra witnesses Olive lure a vengeful bird to relay a dangerous message. Olive binds a heliographic note to a seabird and launches it, declaring his defiance of Burke and drawing clan support. Palmyra faces a dire choice as race tensions and tribal loyalties collide with peril and fate.

Olive and Palmyra Escape in a Sea Chase

In a perilous scene on Ponape, Olive uses a sail gesture to signal Burke’s advance while Palmyra, bound and improvised with coconuts, crafts a life raft plan. She hides a leaf message, fights off Olive, and narrowly escapes by sea, only to be rescued aboard a canoe as Burke closes in.
