That night, in a makeshift prison wagon, fortune intervenes. A young British soldier recognizes Jamie as "Red Jamie" and, feeling a pang of mercy (and hoping for a reward from the Highlanders), loosens Jamie's ropes. The next morning, as Jack Randall is about to begin his cruel march, chaos erupts: the wagon overturns during a skirmish. Jamie, near death, is left for dead in a ditch. He is not dead. A farmer finds him and sells him to a group of passing Highlanders who are collecting wounded Jacobites.
