Phantom Fortress in 1780 South Carolina
Dorande van Kortenaer, a refugee from a West Indian uprising, travels with a British column toward Uncle Paul St Aubin as Marion the Swamp Fox eludes Tarleton. A torture scene unfolds with a bound woman and a captured trader, prompting Dorande to fear for a survivor as the chase narrows. Bayne orders men to seize a captive and Dorande is carried away, later rescued by a lone woodsman after a cart crash.

First Post War Atomic Oven Now in Operation
Brookhaven National Laboratory opens the first large post war atomic reactor designed for research. At full power it could produce electric power for a village and aids peacetime science as well as military atomic progress. Built 75 miles from New York, it uses boron steel rods and a 320 foot stack to remove heat and radioactivity with emergency shutdowns in place. The $25 million facility is operated by the U S Atomic Energy Commission and will be a key site in advancing nuclear research.
