When they sail back to Basseterre, Sharkey is in jail. The Governor of St. Kitt's, Sir Charles, with a weak health accompanied by his doctor Dr. Larousse ask Captain Scarrow to sail them back to England. The voyage on the Morning Star is a successful one, and in about three weeks she is at the mouth of the British Channel. Captain Scarrow, the Governor and Dr. Larousse meet for a last turn of cards in the captain cabin. The Governor suddenly gets all the big stake and reveals he is Captain Sharkey, helped by his quartermaster Ned Galloway which was a fake doctor. Scarrow is tied in his cabin and Sharkey leaves the boat, which he had previously scuttled. With a dinghy, he then meets a fishermen boat, kills the crew, and the little craft crept out with her nose to the Atlantic.
