Answer: his gun

Hidalgo was badly injured when the prince set up a trap to kill him. Frank could see blood coming from Hidalgo's nose.

Wounded Knee Creek is its full name. When the US Cavalry are watching the Indians do their 'Ghost Dance', it says the name at the bottom of the screen.

10. What was the actual colour of the horse that had been traded for Jazira?

Answer: Whitey Grey

Katib had kidnapped the sheik's daughter, so that he could trade Jazira for Al Hattal, if the sheik refused then Katib would have cut off Jazira's head and send it to him wrapped in Baghdad silk. So Frank and the other servants of the sheik painted the neck and head of the white coloured horse, and covered the rest of the body with a horse coat.

It was very cunning, but Katib noticed black paint rubbing off onto his hands. Then a fight broke out.
