The boat stops and the passengers visit another temple.  Simon tells Poirot he is glad Jackie is on the boat and there is no more running from her.  Poirot asks Pennington about the coincidence of meeting Linnet and Simon on their honeymoon.  Simon saves Linnet from a boulder that crashes in the spot she was sitting.  As Simon and Linnet board the boat, they meet Jackie.  Simon assumed Jackie had caused the boulder to fall but now thinks it must have been an accident.
