a closer view of the chase brings us back to where the motor coaches are loading up, and for a moment the police as lost to view.
a high view of the open air tannery with its circles of crude stone water tanks becomes the scene of a further part of the chase. we see the white-robed arab leaping between the crude tanks with the police yelling and running after him in the distance. the difficulty of the obstacles enables the arab to get ahead of them, and we see that he is now able to dodge through an archway into the grain market.
as the chase passes through the grain market, it scatters grain and grain sellers in every direction.
the pursued arab dashes through an enclosure holding the donkeys which are used to carry grain to and from the market. there is quite a stampede, with the donkeys running, kicking, and braying in fright.
through another archway the arab now dashes down some of the narrow streets of the medina. sapling branches are laced overhead creating a latticed shadow pattern on the ground below.
a high, overhead shot of the narrow streets showing that the police have caught sight of their man again. but there seems to be something strange about the chase now. two white-robed arabs are running. the second arab we haven't seen before, but he is faster than the first man and is gaining on him.
a high shot shows that the stabbed man is almost out of sight for a moment so that the police continue their chase after the second man, who has swiftly darted down another side turning.
the camera seems to pass beyond him for a moment, and there, a few yards away, stands ben mckenna, and his group.
