Courage Under Fire in a Moor Farmhouse Raid
A young narrator guards a cottage against two burglars Shifty Dick and Jerry. After barricading doors and fighting them off with a kitchen poker and a beam they flee with a pocket-book full of banknotes and silver spoons. The narrator escapes into the moor night and seeks refuge at Moor Farm, pursued by danger and fatigue yet determined to survive.
