## Contents
The chapter describes the ongoing marital strife between Annatoo and Samoa, who are characters navigating the seas in a brigantine. After a truce, Annatoo violates its terms by pilfering from Samoa, leading to renewed conflict and a "divorce" where Annatoo takes the forecastle as her own. Despite the separation, Annatoo attempts reconciliation by stealing from Samoa's cabin. The chapter culminates in a near-disaster as the brigantine approaches a shoal, from which they are saved by the combined efforts of Samoa's seamanship and Annatoo's industry. The narrative also reflects on the dangers of approaching islands in those seas. The chapter contains two chunks of text: [Chunk 1](arke:01KG8AKYQHXY2PQFR3ARWZ30K4) and [Chunk 2](arke:01KG8AKYQHC2P20CJ20T29NFRX).
