He is transfixed by what he sees and stands motionless looking upward, as if in a trance, until the clouds close over once again and his mind returns to the world around him. A woman he knows well is a witness to what is happening to the boy, and although she cannot see or hear anything, she is convinced that the boy has seen a vision of the Virgin Mary. The boy is confused by all the fuss that is being made, but he has been told when to return to the headland to see the vision again, and it isn't long before the whole population of the island has heard what has happened to him. The woman in the vision promises to return to the promontory and by the time she returns the islanders have created a make-shift shrine and many have gathered in the normally deserted place hoping to see something miraculous.
