Both explorers suddenly remember wireless telephone. Air fuses all along the line. Both ships catch fire. Arrival at port. Boats meeting. Ananias finds affinity and tells the tale. Sapphira finds affinity and tells the tale.
As the boats pass they see one another. Sapphira falls on her affinity’s neck. Breaks it. With one scornful glance she throws herself into the sea, swamping a liner with the wash.
Ananias cries out in astonishment, “My wife!” He is thereupon knocked overboard by his affinity. He is washed on to a high cliff by his wife’s wash. Sapphira tries to follow. Causes a landslide. They roll in each other’s arms to the beach. The boats steam away, while passengers throw everything portable at them and fire at them with syphons and signal guns. Both are left lying.
