Brigham takes six Bowery Broadswords and six shields out of a hollow tree, and hands one to each person. The antagonists range themselves in two rows, like the Horath and Ceriath , with appropriate exclamations of "Come on, villain!" "Now's your time." "One for your nob," &c. A Comic Fight, in the midst of which, when the three prisoners are getting the worst of it, a number of women, headed by Marian , rush on and turn the scale. The three chief Mormons are slain — so are Tom and O'Flab . The women and the rest of the Mormons exit, fighting . Sparks alone survives. When Brigham receives his mortal wound, he takes out an air cushion, blows it up, and lying down, calmly rests his head on it, and dies, with a few gentle kicks.
