Little Abdullah was a great character and more entertaining than the Thomsons.
The entry of Captain Haddock late in the story is regrettable and obviously the result of Herge writing the original story before The Crab with the Golden Claws. But it doesn't work and is totally unnatural. Herge should have just left him out as there is no need for the Captain in absolutely every adventure.
