In Session 11 of "Darwin's Dragons," the reading comprehension answers reveal a tense narrative where Covington, realising that he cannot attack the dragon as it is merely protecting its eggs, discards his knife. Tragedy strikes when the dragon sets fire to the boat, and Covington must resort to clinging to a treasure chest to stay afloat. Farthing, a dragon, aids him by pushing the chest through the water. The crew captures Farthing in a sack, intending to add the dragon to Darwin's collection of specimens. Covington grapples with the inversion of societal roles when Darwin tends to him, leaving him feeling guilty as the servant-master dynamic is disrupted. The island central to the events of this session is named Narborough.

The summary of Session 11 within the limit of 50 words could be as follows: Covington abandons aggression, understanding the dragon's maternal instinct. His boat burns, but he survives with Farthing's help. Captured, Farthing faces an uncertain future, while Covington struggles with the reversal of roles as Darwin cares for him on Narborough island.
