As they near the woods again, they start to hear Morlocks. Night has started to fall and the Time Traveler decides to start a fire using some camphor and dry brush to get rid of the stalking Murlocks behind them. The fire spreads quickly as the Time Traveler and Weena make their way into the forest. He and Weena walk in the dark, and slowly he feels small hand grasping at his clothes and legs, and Weena. He decides that he must light another fire in the woods to make a camp to rest a little so that he can break away from his pursuers with new strength. Dreadfully tired, he actually falls asleep, and when he wakes he is covered in Morlocks biting at his hands and neck. He finds no more matches in his pocket but thankfully finds his Iron bar, and he bats away the attacking Morlocks. Suddenly, he sees for the first time that the fire has spread to the forest. He cannot find Weena around him anywhere and decides to run away from the blazing fire around him. He comes to a clearing with a small hillock and he runs to it.
