Dear Diary,
Before
Susan and Ping-Cho could panic too much about the eyes following them about the
cave, Tegana appeared, asking us what we were doing there. I informed him we
were searching for Miss Wright and showed him her handkerchief, which he
assumed we’d found in a passageway off the side of the cave. He told us we
should leave due to the evil spirits, but Chesterton and Polo arrived before I
could discuss the non-existence of ghosts with him.
Chesterton
noticed something moving behind the eyes in the rock face as well, and found a
hidden chamber revealing a Mongol warrior preparing to slay Miss Wright. Without
thinking, Tegana rushed forward and killed the man.
When we
returned to the way-station, Polo ordered Ping-Cho and Susan to separate their
sleeping quarters. Susan refuses to believe it, but I suspect Ping-Cho may have
told him about my spare TARDIS key as well because he and Tegana caught me
coming out. He now has both keys, and I am still unable to work on repairing
the circuit.
We are now
held hostage in our tent, but we shall not give up. Chesterton is attempting to
cut our way out using a broken plate, and I have a feeling soon Marco Polo will
be only too glad to let us go.
Based upon the teleplay by John
Lucarotti, first broadcast on BBC 14th March 1964
