Bad news, Dick Sahib and for you, too, Dan Sahib, the crystal ball brings evil tidings.

What's up now?

The captives held in the same camp with Veena; one is a man, gray bearded and full of years. That is your father, Dick Sahib.

He was lured from the oasis by a trick. And he was not taken alone. A young girl is also kept for ransom.

human
Already you guess who it is, Dan Sahib, and your suspicions are correct. The girl who is captured is young and beautiful with dark eyes and curly black hair. She is brave, although her case is desperate, and she calls upon you for help. She is your sister, Dan Sahib!
