The Drift of the Vaal and the Storm Encounter
In blistering heat the party travels by cart toward Standerton as Frank Muller plots to execute two English prisoners. A violent storm erupts near the Vaal, a brutal ambush ensues, and a direct rifle assault sinks the cart. Mortally struck by lightning, the pursuers flee while Muller sees the two would-be accomplices slain, and escapes into the night.
