What were the handles made<br \/>\nof?<br \/>\n<\/strong>(Answer)To cut the rope from around his(Alec&#8217;s) waist, as The Black came up onto the shore, of the island, so that he(Alec) would not be dragged to death over the sand.\u00a0 The Handles were made of pearl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What is the name of the port where the Drake loaded the Black Stallion?<br \/>\n<\/strong>(Answer) I can not find a name but judging by the description in The Young Black Stallion book, I am gong to guess Jizan because that is a real Arabian port on the Red Sea closest to the Ar Rub Al Khali, which they were traveling back toward when Cat had to suddenly change his plans because the truck would not run after the locust storm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.
