Summary: 

Somewhere near the slave quarters the pursuers spot Tomey's Turl and "cast" the dogs on him (15). After the man and the dogs sociably disappear into the woods, they temporarily give up the chase and send for a "fyce" dog to track the dogs, while wagering on when the fugitive will be caught (16).
