Night of the refuge and the house boat escape
A fractured narrative recounts Hopkins being pursued and Texlé hidden aboard a house-boat. The escape ends with a tense night watch as Uncle Nick directs retreat and coroner assistance, while locals guard the scene and await dawn. The narrator recalls the peril, with unease over truth and danger lingering.
The Woodsman and the Dead Man in the Gulch
In a remote scene, Uncle Nick discovers a murdered man in a cabin after dawn. The woodsman, Loge Maldéo, identifies the slain man as Slim Atinger Doolin, a famed forger. Amidst threats, hideouts, a police inquiry, and a tense vigil by the sick girl, the story follows loyalties, a note exonerating or accusing, and the woodsman’s quiet devotion through a perilous night to save a life.
