A spy narrator abandons his sword in a river crossing and hides beneath a barges side as British patrols pursue. He escapes drift, reaches the far shore, and trudges five miles through darkness toward refuge, encountering a lone stone building left of the road.
Major Lawrence of the Maryland Line hides in a abandoned Jersey shop after escaping via the Delaware. He meets Bull Farrell, a rugged blacksmith and capable patriot, who offers food and cautious aid. The two exchange news on Washington, Hamilton, and misdeeds by Loyalist forces, while weighing trust and survival in wartime Philadelphia and German Town.
In a tense mountain crossroads scene a partisan ranger hints at ties between Mistress Claire and Major, while a Loyalist colonel contends with divided loyalties. Soldiers, threats, and a swift pursuit unfold as a whistle calls a retreat and riders scatter toward Lone Tears town.
