Jon rides with Lord Commander Mormont and the other officers to the summit of the Fist of the First Men. Ghost refused to come up with him, running off three times. Lord Commander Mormont decides they will camp there to await Qhorin and the men from the Shadow Tower. Jon goes down to fetch Ghost, but he again refuses to go to the summit. Jon stares out at the terrain until dusk and then talks briefly with Sam, who seems to be finding a little courage. He then goes to find the lord commander, who is meeting with the senior officers, including Thoren, Jarmen, Ser Mallador, and Ser Ottyn. Lord Commander Mormont means to wait at the Fist for the wildlings to emerge, as the only path they can take is down the Milkwater and past the Fist. Jon takes his leave to get some supper as the lord commander goes to bed. Dywen is talking to Grenn, Dolorous Edd, and Hake and says that it smells cold. Jon loses his appetite and wanders off. Ghost appears and beckons him to follow. After leading him down the hill and around in the underbrush for a bit, Ghost starts digging. He uncovers a stash of dragonglass weapons, daggers and arrowheads, and a hunting horn. They have not been there long. Jon picks up the cloth they were wrapped in and realizes that it is the cloak of a member of the Night's Watch.
