Thinking that Mally's shouts are part of one of her stories, the Villagers keep their doors and windows closed.

Paul Hope found the angle awkward to reproduce.

When Mally returns to the cove alone, she comes upon the bodies of her Mother (Meg Wynn Owen) and Father lying on the rocks. Recognised by Paul Weston, this is Trebarwith Strand, south along the coast from Tintagel with Gull Rock out in the Atlantic Ocean.
