Chapter 13 Summary: “The Three Sleepers”

Finally, the Dawn Treader comes across the final island in the story. As they explore it, they find what appears to be ruins, in the middle of which stands a table with a feast spread on it. At one end of the table are three sleeping figures whose hair has grown wild and tangled over the years. Caspian deduces that they must be the last remaining lords: Lord Revilian, Lord Mavramorn, and Lord Argoz. Reepicheep wonders whether the food is poisoned, and if that is how the lords fell into their enchanted sleep. He, Caspian, Eustace, and the Pevensies volunteer to stay with the three sleepers that night while the others go back to the ship. In the middle of the night, a young girl comes out and welcomes her guests. They are wary of her at first, but she tells them that the three lords were not poisoned by the food. They came to the island seven years earlier and started arguing about whether they should stay there or return to Narnia. As they quarreled, they grabbed a large knife lying in the middle of the table, the Knife of Stone, which Lucy recognizes as the one that the White Witch used to sacrifice
