One of these obelisks. The Dove took a running jump and found 
Himself atop of the pit, he ran over to rescue the other
Trapped men. Fate had been kind to his friend Rex Murphy,
While the other three men were hurt and needed medical attention.
The Dove and Murphy carry out the men to the Golden Coach,
Which took them back to Southerly. The local doctor managed to
Patch them up enough to be taken back to the local jail in Dover.

Black dove started back for Dover. By that time the Black Dove was 
Satisfied that he had finally tracked down the men who had
Murdered his friends. He lay down (leant against the seat-back)
