The miracle has a devastating ending when the children's father insists on treating the figure as if it were a real human being.
Bad luck pursues Annyrose and her family. On the way to California, her mother dies, and O.O. Mary kidnaps her. When she meets the outlaw Joaquín Murrieta, Annyrose begs him to take her with him. The bandit accepts in exchange for her teaching him how to read. They travel together during a time when nobody can be trusted.

The crew can join another ship or accompany the captain to his new hacienda in California.
