Martin, Robert, and Trevor set out on horseback to make the rendezvous at Connecticut River. Saddle-riding is harder on the new riders than expected. While following trails in the power line cuts, they encounter a booby trap -- likely an outer defense for a settlement nearby. The three decide to go around. While pushing through the woods, they overhear a group of raiders attempting to break into a remote home. As much as Martin is in a hurry to get the medicine for Margaret, he can't leave the anonymous family to such a terrible fate.
