A week later, near Independence rock ….
Max sent his first message by the bone express
“I’ve scouted out the trail ahead”
“It’s safe as far as Fort Hall”
“Try to enjoy the fourth of July celebrations on independence rock”
But is wasn’t the same without Pa and Max…
… and the journey seemed to go on forever
24
Losing Pa hit Ma pretty hard
Fort Hall was more than Halfway to California …… But, by the time we got there, Ma wasn’t well
The Fort’s Doctor examined her
Cough
Keep an eye on her, Miss, It could be Mountain fever
Oh no!
While I worried…
…Uncle Charles was showing off his money…
The drinks are on me, my friends!
Which attracted some unwelcome attention

Pag 25
A week later…
… I got another message from Max
“There are reports of Indian attacks ahead. Becareful”
Pah!
I tried to warn Uncle Charles…
… But he said we didn’t need extra guards that night
He told me not to be so silly…
… There was no one out there!
26
I finally managed to sleep…
Snap!
Huh?
… When suddenly…
Indians!!
I thought it was the end
27
Get the guns!
The men grabbed their weapons…
… But the Indians were too quick
Twaang!
Thudd!
Mr. Fitzpatrick was hit
I grabbedJoshua….
Come on
We had to ride
28
The indians’arrows were no match for our guns
The Indians ran off…
But first they set fire to one of the wagons
In the firelight, I thought I saw something strange about the Indians …
But as we battled to put the fire out…
More water
I forgot about what I’d seen
29
Oh no!
The next day Uncle Charles found they’d taken all his money
But we had to go onA few days later…
What’s that?
We came across an abandoned wagon
Don’t look
But it was too late
30
There had been another Indian attack…
We found two dead Indians
Hey, this ain’t no Indian!
I recognize these men from back at Fort Hall
They were just robbers dressed as Indians!
You’re not going to believe this!
I was Max!
He’d fought the robbers…
… and saved a baby from the attack31
Max wasn’t too badly wounded
Mr. Hendrix patched him up…
… and said he’d be fine in a week or two
The wagon train voted…
And welcome Max back as a hero!
Uncle Charles wasn’t happy
32
After months on the prairies, the hills were tough going
Axles broke…
The rain poured…
… Everything was mud…
…And sometimes the way ahead was bloked
Come on you, two!
Make yourselves useful!
33Max was fine now …
Phew, this is thirsty work!
Cough!
Thanks!
Are you right …?
…But Ma seemed to be getting worse
We put her to bed
Please get better!
34
We kept going but had to move so slowly that …
… we were holding everyone back
The others came to see us …
Max
… They wanted to leave us behind
There was no choice
Sniff
Hurry up, boy!
Goodbye, Joshua, see you in California !
Wewere on our own
35
Without the other wagons, the hills seemed strange and frightening
I got a message from Joshua on the bone express
Read it to me, Dear!
It wasn’t good news
Every night, Indians were sneaking into camp and shooting oxen
Uncle Charles was determined to stop them…
36
But he couldn’t
Blasted Indians!
The Indians wanted the ox meat, so they shot the oxen….
… Knowing thesettlers would have to leave the dead animals behind
But things seemed to be going well for us
Your ma’s getting stronger every day
37
But the very next day…
… Disaster struck!
What?
It’s beyond repair!
Suddenly, Max Froze
Don’t move
Why?
Indians appeared from nowhere
I was really scared…
… but they were more interested in the oxen than in us
Max wasn’t taking any chances
38
I’ve gotan idea!
There was lots or arm waving, but eventually Max made a trade…
…our wagon and oxen for fresh
We’d be able to move much faster on horseback ….
… and finally catch up with the wagon train
There they are!
I thought they’d be over the mountains by now
39
What’s the matter?
The north pass is blocked
We are waiting for a scout to take us trough the south pass
Charles Reed has...
