In this chapter, Jim and Ms. Cottier take their horse back (one was borrowed by the night riders earlier) to their house. Ms. Cottier unofficially adopts Jim by saying he should think of her as his mother. That night the night riders brought the horse back. The next day, Jim and Hugh decided to pretend to be Native Americans and build a house out of snow, but they find someone flashing a warning by reflecting sunlight and the glow from the previous night's snow. They are then chased by the man flashing the warning and run towards the house, but Hugh trips on a root and the chapter ends.
So far, the story is interesting, but no pirates have came. However, the man flashing the signal could be warning of pirates or be a pirate.
It is still hard to judge the historical accuracy because it is still early 1800s England.
