Adventures of Jack Dobell in the Texan Frontier Straits
The narrator recounts days crossing a bayou near a timberline, losing his knapsack to a swift current, and surviving with Scout. He camps by a pond, dries tinder, and cooks parched corn, then discovers a dilapidated cabin with a gun at the window. Scout drives off the intruder, and the pair join Capt. D and Mr. I for provisions before reaching the Texas Bra zos. Scout later lives on as a prized dog in Austin decades later.
