Adventures by a morse. Cautony morse presents... The City of the Dead, featuring Captain Friday. If you like high adventure, come with me. If you like the stealth of intrigue, come with me. If you like blood and thunder...

Come with me. Two o'clock on the afternoon of the third day in the City of the Dead. A drenching wet blanket of fog still lays upon this old abandoned cemetery. In our last episode, Jimmy Parker and Dr. Tuner had gone down into the city of the dead in search of the Phantom Church Bell, leading Phyllis Carol alone with Mayor Friday.

Jimmy tried to prevent this arrangement, but was unsuccessful, and so at the last minute he slipped Phyllis the knife, with which she had been stabbed two days previously and a police whistle. If in danger, she was to blow the whistle.

Jimmy and Doc then went down to the old church ruins and accidentally discovered the bell in the basement of the ruins. But that wasn't all we found. There was a man down there. He was bound and gagged and near death from a blow in the head and from starvation.

He was the one who had been ringing the bell. Dr. Tuner and I unbound the now unconscious fell and started back to the cottage with him. And halfway there, suddenly out of the Mercken gloom came the piercing squeal of a police whistle.

I knew that meant Phyllis was in danger. I dropped the unconscious man and ran through the fog for the cottage, leaving Dr. Tuner to follow with a stranger as best he could. I'm coming I'm coming Phil. I was a fool of evil with Mayor Friday Here's the house Phil That's what's the matter Jimmy you're so white. What's the matter with you? Well, it's not anything wrong.
