        Chapter 68 begins on page 658. They are still hard at work on
the line in early August, moving about a mile or two a day.

        Mason and Dixon discuss three land speculators said to be in the
area hoping to purchase huge tracts from the Indians.

        Mason and Dixon warn their company of the increasing danger as
they move west. They take a ferry across the Big Yochio Geni river, also
called Youghiogheny. The ferryman, Mr. Ice tells them the story of his
family's massacre during the days of Braddock's defeat.  He said the war
really will go on and on until the last person in the area dies.

        Mason says that there are no fish in the river, but Mr. Ice says
there is a large school of ghost fish. Mason asks him about the fish even
though Dixon is trying to stop him.
