In the book war of the world What act of realistic cowardice does the narrator commit in the last part of the chapter?

At the end of chapter 4, 'the death of the curate', the narrator does indeed commit an act of cowardice when he 'whispers passionate prayers for safety'. He betrays himself and what he stands for as a scientist. In the book, he undoubtedly makes himself out to the reader as a confident and reasonable intellectual but, as he entombs himself in the coal cellar, he turns to God and becomes the curate; a man of weakness, cowardice and blind faith.
