do to get ready for them: together with
the Way we meet them. 153

XVII. The Fight, and not much else: except a little Happening
at the End which startles me greatly. 162

XVIII. After the Fight: also a true Account of the great
Blizzard: with how I go to sleep in the Stronghold and
am awakened before Morning. 171

XIX. I find out who my Visitor is: with Something about him,
but with more about the Chinook which came out of the
Northwest: together with what I do with the Powder, and
how I again wake up suddenly. 185

XX. What the Outlaws do on their second Visit: with the
awful Hours I pass through, and how I find myself at
the End. 203

XXI. After the Explosion: some cheerful Talk with the
Thieves, and a strange but welcome Message out of the
Storm. 210

XXII. The last Chapter, but a good Deal in it: a free Lodging
for the Night, with a little Speech by Mr. Clerkinwell:
then, how Kaiser and I take a long Journey, and how we
never go that Way again. 220
