Only then did Jane learn of Peter’s fate. After much discussion and letters from their friends—Alex and Ewan—the men had agreed on penance for Peter. He would return to the New Hebrides and devote five years to caring for the villagers, assisting however he could to rebuild the island and help it prosper. “Peter will face, first-hand, the consequences of his actions and learn to be responsible for others,” Andrew had explained. “It is a fair compromise.”
