Answer: General Alcazar

3. Which of these villains is not mentioned in the book?

Answer: Colonel Sponz

All are villains in the Tintin series - they feature in many books; in this book however Colonel Sponz (of Borduria) doesn't make an entry.

4. On their return to Marlinspike after meeting the character, they get a pleasant (more unpleasant) surprise; what is it?

Answer: They find Prince Abdullah and some Arabs

Prince Abdullah is the son of an Arab Emir, whom Tintin helps in many a mission. The Emir asks Tintin to take care of his son because of "troubles brewing in his country". Prince Abdullah is a prankster and he is notorious for creating trouble wherever he goes.

5. Soon Tintin and Captain Haddock leave to another country to help a friend - how do they go there?

Answer: By Aeroplane

They go to help the Emir, who was overthrown by a rebel. However when they reach Wadesdah airport, they find the reception not so welcome, they are sent back on a plane which is rigged with a time bomb. They managed to escape when the plane develops a technical snag (catches fire!) and has to belly-land.

6. Soon Tintin and Captain Haddock decide to leave for Mecca, to investigate certain incidents. They had to leave by ship. What type of ship?

Answer: Sambuk

In the words of Captain Haddock - "Ah, so that's the tub we're going to board. It's a dhow... No; I beg your pardon: a sambuk".

7. What is the nationality of the pilot whose plane got shot down by Tintin while trying to destroy the vessel in which Tintin was sailing?

He was flying a "Mosquito" - his name is Piotr Skut. Tintin rescues him from the sea and Skut rewards Tintin for this by being loyal to him and helping him in many tight situations.

8. When Tintin and his pals are rescued by a yacht, what type of party was going on in the yacht?

Answer: A costume party

9. What is the codeword for slaves used by the Arabs?

Answer: Coke

Rastapopoulos traded in slaves among other things; Tintin comes to know of the code word when they meet an Arab buyer who comes to the ship and asks them for coke.
