The Covenant tries to negotiate a difficult
channel without a proper chart or pilot and is soon driven aground on the
notorious Torran Rocks. David and Breck are separated in the confusion,
with David being washed ashore on the isle of Erraid near Mull , while Breck and the surviving crew row to safety on
that same island. David spends a few days alone in the wild before getting his
bearings.
David learns that his new friend has survived, and David has
two encounters with beggarly guides: one who attempts to stab him with a knife,
and another who is blind but an excellent shot with a pistol. David soon
reaches Torosay, where he is ferried across the river, receives further
instructions from Breck's friends.
As he continues his journey, David encounters none other
than the Red Fox (Colin Roy) himself, who is accompanied by a lawyer, servant,
and sheriff's officer. When David stops the Campbell man to ask him for directions, a
hidden sniper kills the hated King's agent. David is denounced as a
conspirator and flees for his life but by chance reunites with Breck.
