A Warm Welcome

Is the tenth chapter of J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit.


 * 10 - A Warm Welcome - Bilbo and the Dwarves arrive at Lake-town, by what Bilbo learns is the only safe way (the river). Along the way, Bilbo gets his first view of the Lonely Mountain. They arrive there and Bilbo frees the Dwarves from their barrels, then he, Thorin, Kili, and Fili head into the town to speak with the town's master. Soon all of the Dwarves are nursed back to health, and they set out on the last stage of their journey. The Master of Lake-Town lends them boats and horses laden with supplies, and they are taken across the river.
