Sir William Magnay writes of Tilghman and companions as they reach a sunlit tower after a storm. The sea is calm and land appears refreshed yet no sign of Erikoa, the Turk, is found. They search relentlessly calling his name.
Tilghman and Dalray, trapped on a cliff tower, survive hunger and chasing a shore escape. A yacht crew rescues them at dusk, only to face a Turkish court of Inquiry the next day over the assassination of Rassim Bey and island irregularities. The two Englishmen are required to testify at noon in Raghib Khan.
