Chapter 38 Summary

Sammy finds Andy and Badge at Harp Falls and is ready to attack Badge until Andy reassures her that he is her brother, Isaac. Andy realized this when she saw his picture on the “WANTED” bulletin. Isaac tells his side of the story, supplementing and correcting the rumors that Sammy had been hearing for months. While he killed neither the man nor the baby, he blames himself morally for the baby’s death as it was abandoned by its mother who bolted in fear. Using the stone on her bracelet, Andy tries to remind Isaac of his goodness, but he is poised to jump off the falls to his probable death. The moment is interrupted by the sound of Scottish voices—the MacMartin brothers have come to claim the bounty for the girls.

Chapter 39 Summary

The MacMartin brothers recognize Isaac as part of the gang and decide to shoot him for the bounty instead. Sammy tries to shoot the Scottish brothers but the gunpower got wet when she dropped the gun in the water and the gun will not fire. Isaac tricks the brothers into tying his hands, and then claims to see a falcon to distract them. He grabs both men and pulls them off the cliff with him, but only one is killed.
