The last lantern

Pavel finishes boarding the blue-stripe boat with the single unlit lantern. Its five occupants are the boatwoman, Harly, Anya, Pavel and the injured lodger. The boy and seamstress are not in this boat. The shelf is empty. Pavel: Coming. That's everyone. Take us out.

The blue boat emerges from the narrow arch, oars stowed. Yakov catches its bow rope with his boat hook from the single ochre boat secured beside the outer wall. The two boat rosters remain unchanged. Yakov: I've got your line. Keep her straight.

Two boats clear of the arch: ochre boat has Yakov, Ronald, Karen, seamstress and boy plus Tony. Blue boat has boatwoman, Harly, Anya, Pavel and injured lodger, with one unlit lantern between Pavel’s feet. No additional people or boats. Ronald counts the four rescued people across the two boats. Ronald: All four. All here.
