Unfortunately, his leave-taking will yield despair, sickness, suffering and imprisonment, starting from his eleventh day at sea after he manages to board a trading vessel in Tumbes coastline of present-day Peru as the youngest crewmember.

Their boat is looted and most of its occupants are murdered, or eaten by sharks as they attempt to flee. The one woman aboard is raped and flings herself overboard. Waman worries he may never again see his mother, his father, his grandfather and Tika, his comely cousin who was orphaned by an earthquake when very young.
