In the subdivision where Furlong lived there was an empty room up on the plebe floor. Sharp to the minute of 8.30 the men were at hand. Packard, of the first class, had agreed to act as referee.

Neither of these men saw the ruler of Gyáman, and it is believed that Nielson, having begun a quarrel by firing upon the people, was killed in the fray.

As he met her friendly, silent welcome, he expressed her to himself "By the gods above, you are without exception the healthiest finest bravest young woman that ever made the sun shine in grey weather."
