Two o'clock on the morning of the third day in the City of the Dead. Three nights and two days have been spent in this old abandoned cemetery. This is the morning of the third day.

But let Captain Friday tell you. At midnight we were asleep in the cottage of my father, Mayor Friday, whose caretaker of the old cemetery. Then there came the disturbing wails of the old clawfoot phantom.

I got up and with Jimmy Parker went out into the night. Almost immediately we stumbled onto a trail of bones that led us among the tombstones down into the city of the dead. It led to a grave upon whose headstone had been placed a skull.

It was a freshly opened grave, and there was a man down in it, digging. So much for that. In the meantime, Dr. Tuner had been left at the cottage with Phyllis Carroll, kept a bed by her knife wound.

Also, the old mayor was supposedly asleep in one of the bedrooms, locked in by Captain Friday, so that he would not be disturbed. Dr. Tuner became frightened when old clothwood began to prowl outside the door and broke into Mayor Friday's room, only to find that he was not in the locked room at all.

and then the clothwood creature took measure in his own hands. He broke into the front door, overwhelmed Dr. Tuner, and came to the bed beside the girl. When it reached Torda, she cried out and lost consciousness.
