Yes, he is saved by the enemies of the Inquisition in the very last lines of the tale. I think that in the pit he has a glimpse of the remains of other prisoners -- less lucky than he was.

1. Yes, he was saved in the end of the story from the Spanish Inquisition by the French army.
2. Poe doesn't say what is in the pit but he determines that it is very deep by the sound of objects dropping into it.

there is not any undesirable Edgar Allen Poe. He became the Stephen King of the previous. And all his stuff is as creepy and annoying as a results of fact the puppy Cemetery. yet once I ought to decide for, it often is the tell tale heart. The imagery makes me sense as though i became the murderous character interior the story. Eerie. nevertheless the story with the vengful dwarf is the two creepy. BTW. did you recognize: a million He became observed. Allen: delivery call. Poe: observed call. 2 He died from Rabies.

You obviously did not read the story, or you would know the answer to the first question.
Take 20 minutes out of your day and just read the damn story.
