The two pastoral candidates from Copenhagen bolt from the room, hastily climb on their horses and gallop away. Margarete doesn't take a seat near Söfren but chooses to sit next to the fireplace.

Seven hours into the hijacking, the cabin was calm but tense; at that point, few of the passengers knew that two people had been killed. It had grown dark outside and the aircraft was surrounded by spotlights. The pilots now attempted to defuse the situation by talking to the hijackers and trying to gain their trust. Delhemme explained that the beginning of a hijacking is violent, so the role of the pilot is to keep the participants calm, "buy time", show the hijackers who the crew are as people, and find out details about the hijackers; then the pilot has to try gaining the trust of the hijackers.

He bribed several members of the crew to help him in transporting his possessions into the Okinawan ships, while the doctor invited a number of Okinawan dockhands below decks, and entertained them with drink. Intoxicated, the Okinawans were persuaded to take the Bettelheims, and their possessions ashore; when they arrived it had already grown dark and was too late to turn back. The local officials offered the family shelter in the Gokoku-ji temple for the night, and the priests in residence there left, out of respect for the women's privacy. The following morning, the Bettelheims refused to leave. They would remain in the Gokoku-ji for seven years.Kerr. pp.283-4.

Clusters of Syrah grapes It is called Syrah in its country of origin, France, as well as in the rest of Europe, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, New Zealand and South Africa. The name "Shiraz" became popular for this grape variety in Australia, where it has long been established as the most grown dark-skinned variety. In Australia, it was also commonly called Hermitage up to the late 1980s, but since that name is also a French Protected Designation of Origin, this naming practice caused a problem in some export markets and was dropped. The grape's many other synonyms are used in various parts of the world, including Antourenein noir, Balsamina, Candive, Entournerein, Hignin noir, Marsanne noir, Schiras, Sirac, Syra, Syrac, Serine, and Sereine.

The third and longest extract, which is also the most historically interesting and the most beautiful, is seventeen verses from a lament on the death of "the son of Roger the Frank, lord of Sicily". Below are four verses: :The radiant moon has been extinguished and the world grown dark :and our support has tumbled from its grandeur and its nobility :Ah, just when he stood tall in his beauty and his majesty, :and when glories and nations felt proud of him :... :His war-tents and his palaces weep for him :and his sword and his lances lament him :And the whinnies of his horses turn, in their throats, :to nostalgia, though reins and halters restrain them. . . The son is not named, but the poem suggests that he had recently come of age at the time of his death, making Tancred (died 1138/40) or Alfonso (died 1144), who both died in their teens or early twenties, the most likely subjects. Beside these three extracts, ʿImād ad-Dīn also quotes some verses of Abū l‐Ṣalt Umayya that were sent to Abū l-Ḍawʾ.
