The sun rose, "warming the brush house, breaking through its crevices in long streaks. And one of the streaks fell on the hanging box where Coyotito lie, and on the ropes that held it." A sudden tiny movement got Kino and Juana's attention. The sudden movement was caused by a scorpion that was down the rope that hung the baby's box from the roof. Instead of the song of the Family, Kino had heard a new song, the Song of Evil.

Kino stepped up to the box cautiously and slowly, while Coyotito was laughing and reaching to touch the scorpion. The laughing Coyotito shook the rope and the scorpion fell. Kino reached out his hand to try to c

The next morning, the moon was still up and it was fairly dark. Kino awoke to a sound. He then silently and crouching low, made his way through the brush toward the road. In the distance, he was able to see three figures. One was on a horse, while the other 2 were walking on foot. They were the trackers and they were hunting him. Now Juana heard the horse’s hoofs. She had to put Coyotito under her shawl because he kept on gurgling. Then the trackers were out of sight.

They reached a spot where the bottom was filled with opened oysters. This was the place that had enabled the King of Spain, who had great power in Europe over the past few years, to pay for his wars, and decorate the churches. Kino took 2 ropes. One was tied to a heavy stone, and the other was tied to a basket. He slipped his feet first over the side and with the basket in his hand; he let the rock carry him to the bottom. While searching for a valuable pearl, he heard another song- the Song of the Pearl That Might Be. While down below, he was gathering as many shells that he could get a grab hold of and threw it into the basket. Also, while gathering the shells, he knew of one certain up above. He knew that his "was making the magic of prayer." Then he heard the softly tune of the song of the Undersea. Because he was able to hold his breath for 2 minutes, he was able to work deliberately, selecting the largest shells. He noticed that next to the hummock, there was an oyster lying by itself, not covered with other oysters. This shell was partly open. He slowly pulled the oyster lose and held it tightly against his breast. He untied himself from the rock and swam upward, towards the canoe.

"The doctor has gone out," he said. "He was called to a serious case." Kino, Juana, and the rest of the neighborhood left for home.

Juana then says, “Perhaps the dealers were right and the pearl has no value.”
