One night, while they hunt a boar coon, Little Ann saves Old Dan's life by alerting Billy to an underground muskrat den that Old Dan has trapped himself in. Another night, Old Dan himself gets caught up in a tree, and Billy has to use some ingenuity to get him down. Old Dan climbs into a hollow tree and ten feet up the trunk, emerging through a hole and onto a limb to bay at the coon he has treed, another eight feet up. Eventually Billy must climb the tree and force Old Dan back through the hole to get him down. He has to repeat the process several times and finally plug up the hole with rocks and chunks. They get their coon, though.
