He loses consciousness and falls into the river below the bridge as the rope snapped. He awakens to a strong pain running through his body. Farquhar sees a light flash and fade before it grows brighter and he rises to the surface of the river. He is afraid that he will be shot by the northern forces as soon as he is spotted in the water, and makes an attempt to free his hands and neck from the rope. Once freed he finally breaks the surface of the water and inhales deeply and painfully. He looks to the bridge and sees his executioners standing on the bridge looking for him. A sentinel fires his rifle at him but misses, Farquhar notices his grey eyes through the sight of the gun. Farquhar then hears the lieutenant instructing his men to fire, so he dives under the water and swims with the current away from the bridge. A cannonball lands two feet away from him and he swims harder for the shore. He is spun round by the current and winds up on a gravelly bank out of site and range of the gunfire. He weeps with joy and takes in the beautiful landscape around him. He heads into the forest and follows a path, walking all day to his home. Time seems to pass without him noticing, and he rouses standing at his front gate. He makes his way towards his home and sees his wife come down the verandah to meet him. When he moves to embrace her, he feels a sharp pain in his neck and sees a blinding white light. Farquhar is dead. He is hanging at Owl Creek Bridge.
