General Pettygree presents Story #4 in the serial Dervish Swarm.

Dervish Swarm and The Dispatch Rider is here:

link
---
A short story filmed in the light of a waning gibbous moon with our usual brief captions and dialogue.

Will Dispatch Rider, Captain Cavanaugh and Dinah, succeed?

Repair now to the story, if you please, and enjoy toy soldiers in story.

A part of the greatest story ever told on the Mafrican Continent.

Respectfully,

Wait a minute, wait a minute! What is that last picture of the Dervish firing a musket at? You left us hanging! Was he firing at the dispatch rider? Did he hit him? Oh boy, oh boy, you sure know how to leave us hanging.

Still waiting on a book of The General's adventures, old chap!

Hi Doug, Lion and von Schwartz,
Thank you again for your interest in Dervish Swarm.
The next and concluding episode is Dervish Swarm Sinclair's Square to be posted momentarily.

Lion, the general's book is being written. I took some time off from writing it. Thank you for remembering.

Respectfully,
Bill P.
