Zorro Draws His Blade - Powder Horn

Keeping to the dark spots, they got away from the mission and into a coulée, followed this for a short distance, and in a mass of brush-shrouded rocks came to where Bernardo had tethered the black horse Zorro rode. From beneath a clump of brush, the mute pulled a roll of clothing, Zorro's attire. Another bundle contained Zorro's blade, his pistol, powder horn and a pouch of bullets.

In the darkness, Don Diego Vega changed his attire and became Zorro, dressed in black and with a black mask over his face. Into his belt he thrust the charged pistol and the parchment he had prepared in the guest house.

"Remain here," he instructed Bernardo. "If I am chased and reach this spot, you will know what to do."
