I read “Dead Man’s River” written by Elizabeth Laird.
It is the time of the American Gold Rush. Jonas Clark loves Hetty Gray but he is a poor man, so Hetty’s father objects their marriage. He says to Jonas “She can’t marry a poor man. Go away and get some money.”
One day, Jonas went to a bar and he sat near old Harry. He has a bag of gold and he is not happy, because two men threaten him to say why he has such a gold. Old Harry was afraid and said that he got these gold from Dead Man’s River. Two men named Pete and Bernie asked Harry to take them to Dead Man’s River. Jonas was looking at everything that sight and decided to run behind them. On the other hand, the men go on for hours and then, old Harry stops and he said “It’s here”. Two men began to look for gold and Jonas was watching it. Suddenly, Jonas looked up. Bernie was standing beside him and he was angry. Jonas run away and then, he heard something. A man is calling and he wanted help, it was old Harry. Harry is running from Bernie and Pete but his legs were bad. Jonas put Harry’s arm and tried to help Harry. Then Jonas heard something ….Bernie and Pete were coming! They have guns so Jonas thinks fast and he takes off his shirt. He puts it on his head and pretended ghost and shout “Oo-oo!”. It is night so they were surprised and run away. Jonas and Harry laugh and laught. Harry said thank you to Jonas and gave him to gold.
Next day, Jonas met Hetty and proposed to her again. Hetty’s father admitted their marriage and they are happy.
