He manages to grab the horses tail and climb on the side of the horse and with brute strength jumps clear of the sand onto firm ground, he also manages to rescue the imposter from the sand, he was unconscious but still alive. Moments later the kings guards arrive. They decide to unmask the Black Dove, but to their surprise, they find Jack Wild behind the mask. Norrington can hardly believe what he sees, as Jack Wild had died in the mine having being impaled on a pinnacle, Wild tells him he was his twin brother Luke, and pledges to kill the Black Dove the moment he finds him. The soldiers cart him off with the other prisoners, and Norrington is taken back to Norrington Manor. When he arrives he is greeted by his friend and butler Bill Jenkins, who said he has booked a passage for them both on a ship heading for South America.
