Adventure on the Wabash ends in peril and surprise
The narrator travels the Wabash with companions toward St Joseph and Loganport. A river bend and whirlpool force a hunter named Adams aboard. Adams later reveals a moneyed past and is revealed as a dangerous Gus Karl. The robber attacks, but the narrator shoots, foiling the attempt. Karl dies from a failed stab and the narrator reaches Loganport with Kemp saved.

Sleeping in Church and a Drunken Slumbering Train Talk
A city newspaper recounts a Sabbath sermon about sleeping in church and a traveling anecdote from an Indian observer who mocks white church construction costs. It then shifts to recounting David Gough lectures in Philadelphia with vivid stage imagery and a lengthy humor tale about two men sharing a night’s lodging and a loud snore. The piece closes with a sharp, comic exhortation to adjust sleeping positions to avoid disturbing others.
