Chapter 8 and 9
In chapter 8, it is a very short conversation between Buffalo Bill and General Alison. They are talking about bounding to Fort Clayton and just a start for Chapter 9. General Alison, Buffalo Bill and Thorndike will go that place. This Chapter is a beginning of scout for Chapter 9.
In Chapter 9, the Soldier Boy told Shekels which refer to in Chapter 7 about the process of the scout. Soldier Boy say that they have the eseort right and put the Rangers in the Fort Clayton. Then he go back home. But he and Cathy heared that the army met bad situation and six men of Company B are gone from Jimmy Slade which is a drummer-boy. When Cathy heared the news, she is very hurry and call soldier boy to save them. In the way of going to Clayton, they met wolves and solider boy try to protect her. She is also bravery and blew the bugle to frighten them away. But these wolves are too hungry and go back. One hour later, the child sleep but the solider boy still fight them. Finally, these wolves went away and left them. At that day, soldier boy can not sleep until Buffalo Bill come. When Cathy saw Buffalo Bill, she gave a little cry of preasure. On the other hand, Cathy said that she fell off and her arm dangling in the way of saving them. And told him Solider boy protect her from many wolves. Buffalo Bill said that solider boy is a great horse and gave the horse to her. Therefore, solider boy is Cathy’ horse. In the end of the tale, Buffalo Bill called that Cathy blew the bungle and took the march for home. Sketel said that she is a reptile as a compliment.
From this chapter, you can see that Cathy still is a child and do not know how to do and cry when she met some situation. But she is so bravery. when she broke her arms, she did not cry. She is a very bravery child.
