The Long Island Warning and a Champion's Return
In the tale of Capt. Vallace and Horace Sinclair set during the Revolution a decoy letter brings Horace into a trap in a summer house where dangers rise. Cora Vallance resists an alliance with Rudolph and, aided by Horace, escapes a dire wedding, while Vallame aids the lovers and defeats the rebel attackers. The climactic clash ends with Rudolph slain and Mme Vallame dead, and years later Horace and Cora wed near the ruins.
