Nine o'clock on the morning of the third day in The City of the Dead. The most harrowing night in the lives of Phyllis Carroll and Jimmy Parker is past. During this night of terror, the following incidents have taken place.

Captain Friday has disappeared. Jimmy Parker is convinced that it was Mayor Friday whom he and the captain saw digging in Ernie Morton's grave just before Captain Friday disappeared. One of the black pearls belonging to the collection of Theodore Beverly, Thomas' grandfather, was found under her pillow.

It was placed in the mayor's care, and within half an hour was taken from him by some mysterious person. Then in conclusion, the inmates of the mayor's cottage, including Jimmy Phyllis, old Dr. Tuner and the mayor, watching the dawn break from one of the windows, saw old clothwood captured and carried off by someone unrecognizable in the dim light.

But the night is behind them. The warm morning sun has become a tonic to the shattered nerves of the group and has done much to dispel the terror of the night hours. Phyllis alone is still a bed with her wounded shoulder.

Oh, that sleepy head. Good morning. Jimmy. Lie down, Phil. You hurt your shoulder. Oh, what? See? I told you. You lie still. I forgot. Jimmy, is everything all right? Right as rain. But old Coughfoot was kidnapped.

All the better. We don't have to worry about him anymore. I just remember you saying that. And I guess I went back to sleep. What happened after that? Not a thing. Dr. Tuner and Mayor Friday went out, but they couldn't find a trace of anything.
