Through the South African Vaal to a Grim Stand
Four fresh horses carry John across a harsh South African plain toward Standerton where he learns of the Breaker’s Spruit disaster. A looted wagon and a slain native man mark the path of danger as he presses with a bishop pursuing a blocked route. He aids his horses with forage and continues toward an unfolding, melancholy cliffhanger.
