A cavalry officer recounts a dramatic near stampede at Thatcher's Pass where some hundred wild horses charged a pen of seventy five, broke into a clash and forced a dawn counterattack. The narrative shifts to a broader history of Lake Agassiz, Royal William steamship, and early transatlantic steamers.
