Dying confession by Count di Pordino clears Henry Thorlane of conspiracy. The monk Brother Michael, revealed as Maublkeck, exposes the true murderer and restores Thorlane to citizenship. Prefetto and Count di Pordino die as events close with Nita Barlotti awaiting reunions.
The chapter recounts Henry Thorlane's enmity with corrupt monks, his escape aided by the monastery superior, and his flight to America with Mutterelli. There he adopts the alias Maubikeck, reunites with Pacho Maligni, meets Nita Barlotti, and survives a shipwreck after aiding in a raft escape from a sinking vessel.
The narration recounts Thorlane sailing from the Azores to Lisbon and Italy, meeting Mutterelli in Genoa, then entering Sardinia to aid a dangerous mission. Disguised as a monk, he leverages a secret order’s authority to force Count di Pordino’s withdrawal and orchestrate the plan from a monastery vantage. The account praises his steadfast friendship and noble character.
After the prefect’s death a generous new prefect arrives in Cagliari guiding the group. Nita Barlotti stays as guest with the new prefect’s family while Thorlane and the narrator relocate to Villa di Thorlane. The trio secures decisive documents and prepares an American departure with the prefect’s aid. Thorlane plans Nita’s marriage but she demands the truth first. They sail to Genoa as the narrator settles affairs and funds Matterelli.
