        Mason says that Dixon has the ability to sleep with his eyes
open. Dixon says that his father did it too.  They wonder about what
the eyes are seeing while the soul is elsewhere.

        They hear rhythmic sounds from the forest and speculate as to
their origin.  Dixon thinks it's Indian drums that are talking about
Mason and Dixon. Mason thinks that it is a dog barking. Dixon sees Nathe
walking by their tent and asks his opinion. Nathe also thinks its a dog.

        Other crew members come into their tent to discuss the sound. It
becomes too crowded so they move to the mess tent where other crew
members are already there discussing the sound. Many are afraid it is
the "Black Dog" a supernatural kind of devil figure. Wicks suggests it's
a mass hallucination.  Mr. Farlow suggests it's Indians pretending to be
the Black Dog and this panics everyone. Dixon offers to go out and take
a look around.
