Hickey and Tozer are arrested and are brought to a makeshift gallows. The trial is given before the surviving sailors. Crozier admits there is no help coming, but tells them that Hickey is a user and has John Diggle open the bag the Netsilik had. Diggle tells the others that the bag has fresh meat and Goodsir reveals that Irving had recently eaten fresh meat. Hickey is given a chance to speak and he tells the others that Crozier had planned to abandon the crew. A laugh rings out in the fog and Henry Collins walks into camp, followed by the Tuunbaq.

Lt. Edward Little tells a group of assembled men which includes, Charles Best, Lt. H.T.D. Le Vesconte, Crispe, and others that they must attack Hickey's camp and recover Crozier. Crispe reminds Little that Crozier ordered him and the others to continue on. Little says Private Hammond thinks finding the other camp will be easy, but Best thinks they should follow Crozier's order. Little points out that they have no surgeons and no one that speaks Netsilik and their best chance is to recover Crozier and Goodsir from Hickey's camp. Le Vesconte tells Little there has already been a vote and the others are leaving.
