Many years later, in a remote part of Belgium near Bruges, the young composer Robert Frobisher writes letters to Rufus Sixsmith. Henry Goose diagnoses him with a brain parasite and offers a cure, but Adam’s condition only worsens. While aboard the ship, Adam begins to suffer from severe headaches. After some hesitation, Adam agrees to help Autua, and he convinces the captain of the ship to take Autua to Hawaii. The stowaway is Autua-the Moriori man whose whipping Adam witnessed. As Adam leaves aboard the Prophetess, he finds a Moriori stowaway in his cabin. One day, Adam witnesses some villagers whipping a tied-up Moriori man. While on the island, Adam learns about the history of the Moriori people, who existed peacefully on the island until the Maori came and attacked them, killing many Moriori and enslaving those who remained. In the Chatham Islands, of the coast of New Zealand, Adam Ewing writes in his journal about meeting a strange doctor named Henry Goose.
