Epistemon scolds Panurge for talking about wills while he should be helping the crew. Panurge cannot stop crying.

Pantagruel spots land, and everyone’s spirit lifts. Pantagruel says he does not judge Panurge for being afraid; however, he is disappointed that Panurge refused to help during the storm. The ship will have to be repaired, lest it get shipwrecked.

Panurge acts busy once the storm is over, saying he has plenty of courage and very little fear.
