After sharing their lovely stories, Hoseason comes to the Round-House and informs Alan and Davie that something is wrong. He asks them to come up, and points to several large rocks in the distance. Alan identifies them as the Torran Rocks (aka a series of large boulders that stick out of the ocean and is dangerous to ships). Taking a guess, Alan tells Hoseason to steer closer to shore because there might be fewer rocks there. Hoseason takes Alan's advice, and just as the Covenant seems like it will make it through, the ship strikes a reef.
The men scramble to try and prepare a lifeboat, but Davie gets washed overboard. He quickly grabs a piece of wood and hangs on until he is thrown up on the shore, thanking God that he is alive.
