Night at the Black Hill Fort Rescue Plan
In a tense night camp near a river, Doris Churton’s fate looms as Makolo reports Umlimo rites demand her sacrifice at sunset. Captain Gordon devises a dawn escape using Makolo to guide a small mounted party to the Umlimo cave, while a relief force plans advance for a potential rescue before the Kaffir warning. As dawn breaks, Shurlock, Eric, and three scouts enter the Sacred Mountain cave to confront the Umlimo’s priests and free the girl, killing a priest as they move to reach Doris.
