== Plot summary ==
Moiraine and her party leave the Two Rivers after the Trolloc attack on Bel Tine, and they go to Taren Ferry. The Ferryman, Master Hightower, wants to wait for his son to help, but Moiraine insists they leave immediately. Moiraine, Hightower, and the others board the ferry with their horses. As they are midway across the river, the Trolloc army and a Fade reach the bank. Moiraine tells them that Trollocs will not cross deep water. One Trolloc falls into the river; it thrashes and sinks, drowning. The others do not follow.
Once the ferry reaches the Northern shore, Moiraine encourages Hightower to come with them to the next town, but he refuses. Lan cuts the ropes of the ferry, and Moiraine creates a whirlpool to sink it. Hightower jumps into the river to try to save the ferry, but drowns in the whirlpool.
Maigan later mentions to Moiraine that she heard about Moiraine sinking of the Taren Ferry, and Maigan had sent money as recompense.
