A perilous night on the Champlain frontier
Uncle Ed and the narrator flee through forests after a warning from a stranger. They fish at a lake shore near Lake Champlain and sleep beside a fire in a cornfield grotto. A tracking stranger and a reward for a missing boy prompt a perilous river-to-woods escape and a new route toward Paradise Road.
