Fragmentary saga of Gordon and Annie in Indian skirmish
An incomplete account portrays Gordon defending Annie during a fierce clash with savages. Annie weeps for her father as Gordon and allies press forward. Cleaveland dies after urging Gordon to protect Annie, and Annie sinks into despair before a reluctant union with Gordon amid mourning.
