Boldini informs Lejaune that Michael has a stolen jewel on him. After Boldini fails to talk two recruits to steal it for him, Lejaune himself persuades former pickpocket Bolidar to do so. He is caught, and narrowly evades lynching. Lejaune, though, knows that they are to be sent to the isolated Fort Zinderneuf, where it will be easier to isolate Michael from his friends.
