High in the mountains, they found a stream and a waterfall. They drank water and then decided to hide in one of the caves under the waterfall. That evening, the hunters arrived and camped next to the waterfall. Juana had difficulty keeping the baby quiet, so Kino decided to go down and try to kill the men. He was just about to attack them, when the hunters heard the baby. They thought that it was a coyote. A man fired his rifle just as Kino attacked. Kino then took the man's rifle and killed the other men. But suddenly everything went away quiet and Kino knew that something was wrong. He went back to the cave. The baby was dead! He had been hit by the first rifle shot, Kino and Juana walked back to the town caring the body of their dead baby. They walked slowly. The people came out to meet them but Kino and Juana ignored everybody. They walked towards the sea. Kino took out the pearl. It was grey and ugly, and in the pearl he could see evil faces. He offered the pearl to Juana but she said softly: "No, you." Kino took the pearl and threw it into the water. It dropped to the bottom and settled near some plants. A crab climbed over it and it was covered with sand. The pearl had disappeared.
