Kemp clung to the ‘unseen’ and others gripped, clutched and tore ‘it’. After a while, the wild scream of ‘Mercy! Mercy!’ made Kemp realize that Griffin had finally been pinned down. He held the invisible arms while the tram conductor gripped the invisible ankles. Slowly the body of Griffin was visible again as it grew clouded and opaque, strangely changing to finally appear as a crushed and batters figure. The grave injuries caused by the people had led to his death and had thus rescued Kemp.
