The horse jumps sidewise when kicking again, he jumps the other way into bushes. Then, Ichabod sees the dark, ominous figure. Ichabod asks, "Who are you?' and, after nobody answered, the figure appears, looking like a large horseman mounted on a powerful black horse. And his head on the pommel of the saddle. Ichabod takes off, but the other keeps pace. Suddenly, Gunpowder turns, plunging down the hill on the left, the saddle girth breaks and Ichabod clings to the horse's neck as it bounces him in its flight. As Ichabod crosses the church bridge, the jockey rises in the stirrups and hurls his head at him.
