5．Kino，Juana，and Coyotito begin their long march north．They walk all night and make camp in a roadside shelter at sunrise．Along the way，Juana begins to doubt whether the pearl is worth far more than the dealers offered，but Kino points out that his attackers would not have tried to steal the pearl were it worth nothing．
The family hurries farther into the shade for another rest．As Juana plays with Coyotito，Kino wakes from a dream and demands that they keep quiet．Moving forward，he spots three trackers following them．He decides to lose them up in the mountains．
As their climbing grows steeper，Kino varies and doubles back on their way to mislead the trackers．As the sun begins to set，Kino and Juana reach a nearby opening and refill their water supply at a pool and stream，where Juana washes Coyotito．From the lookout，Kino spies the trackers at a distance below，hurrying up the slope（山坡）．Kino misleads the trackers by creating a false track up the cliff（悬崖）and going down again to take shelter with Juana and Coyotito in a nearby cave．
By evening，the trackers arrive at the pool，where they make camp and eat．In the cave，Coyotito grows restless，and Juana quiets him．Kino notices that two of the men have settled into sleep，while the third keeps watch．
Kino takes off his clothes to avoid being seen by the watchman，hiding behind a palm tree waiting for a move before the moon rises．Just as he is ready to spring，the moon appears，and he realizes that his opportunity has been lost．
Suddenly，Coyotito lets out a cry．The watchman shoots in the direction of the cry．As the watchman shoots，Kino springs upon the trackers，killing the watchman and seizing the gun．Knocking one of the other men out with a fierce blow，he watches as the last man attempts to flee up the cliff．The man makes little progress before Kino stops him with a first shot，and then murders him with another shot between the eyes．In the moment that follows，Kino hears the blood-curdling cry issuing from his wife，mourning the death of Coyotito．
Later the next day，Kino and Juana walk side by side into La Paz，with Juana carrying Coyotito's body in a sack over her shoulder．They walked，with unmoving eyes．all the way to the sea．At the edge of the water，Kino stops and pulls the pearl from his pocket．He stares into it carefully，and a flood of evil（邪恶的）memories washes over him．Kino holds the pearl out in front of him，and then throws it out into the ocean．

18．The sun is setting like a huge orange ball．It's the cool evening on a stretch of beach．The water is paring the shore，the breeze is blowing slightly．There are one or two joggers and a couple of fishermen．Most people have gone home for the day．
An old man，with rounded shoulders，bushy eyebrows，and bony features，carries the bucket up to the dock（码头）that goes out into the water．He stands on the dock and all of a sudden there come a mass of dancing dots-seagulls!The man takes out of his bucket handfuls of shrimps（虾）and begins to throw them on the dock．Some seagulls land on his shoulders，some land on his hat，and they eat the shrimps．Long after the shrimps are gone his feathered friends remain．
Why is this man feeding seagulls？What could push him to do this as he does week after week？
The man in that scene is Eddie Rickenbacher，a famous World WarⅡpilot．His plane．The Flying Fortress，went down in 1942．No one could imagine that he and his eight passengers should escape death by climbing into two boats for thirty days．They fought thirst，the sun，and sharks．But what nearly killed them was starvation．Their foods were gone within eight days and they didn't have anything left．
Every day Rickenbacher and the passengers would have a daily afternoon devotional and prayer time．One day after the devotional，Rickenbacher put his hat over his eyes and tried to get some sleep．Within a few moments he felt something on his head．He knew in an instant it was a seagull．All the others on the two boats noticed the seagull．No one spoke，no one moved．Rickenbacher quickly grabbed the seagull and with thanksgiving，they ate the flesh of the bird．They used the remains for fish bait（鱼饵）and survived．
