Kino then took the man's rifle and killed the other men.
But suddenly everything went very quiet and Kino knew that something was wrong. He went back to the cave. The baby was dead! He had been hit by the first rifle shot. Kino and Juana walked back to the town carrying the body of their dead baby. They walked slowly. The people came out to meet them but Kino and Juana ignored everybody. They walked towards the sea. Kino took out the pearl. It was grey and ugly, and in the pearl he could see evil faces. He offered the pearl to Juana but she said softly: "No, you." Kino took the pearl and threw it into the water. It dropped to the bottom and settled near some plants. A crab climbed over it and it was covered with sand.
