After mass, in the dining hall, Kenny approaches Lucy. He tells her that he thinks she is brave, too. The staff, distracted by Howie’s death, neither notice nor separate the two and they stand together, holding hands, for a long time. In the afternoon, taking advantage of the distraction, Kenny slips down to the dock where he steals the school’s new boat. He heads north, hoping to reach Port McNeill and find his Uncle Clifford. In the afternoon, Kenny approaches a port city. He splashes to shore, leaving the boat afloat in hopes of making the authorities believe that he drowned.
