- On their way to the capital they got followed by trackers and they decided to go undercover and attack. Right before he attacks Coyotito lets off a cry that alarms the trackers and makes one shoot their rifle.

- "And Kino drew back his arm and flung the pearl with all his might. Kino and Juana watched it go , winking and glimmering under the setting sun. They saw the little splash in the distance, and they stood side by side watching the place for a long time"(Stienbeck 90).
