The leader of the woodsmen asked them of their duty and they answered as good as possible without mentioning the ring. As they listed the names of their company the leader leaped up in amazement. He actually was Faramir, the brother of Boromir. He immediately let them free and asked them to come to their camp for better talking. He wanted to know everything of their journey and the part of Boromir. The hobbits were taken with the men and walked long through the land of Ithilien.
Then Faramir ordered to blindfold them because for the safety of their camp and then they walked on. Some time later they were unblinded again and then they saw a wonderful waterfall and a small pool before it. They were taken behind the waterfall in a secret chamber where the camp lay. There they got a good meal (again) and then talked with Faramir.
