These
I
did
not
stop
to
read
,
but
went
on
to
the
marked
pages
.
722
As
soon
as
I
began
to
read
these
,
however
,
there
grew
on
me
some
sense
of
a
disturbing
influence
.
Once
or
twice
I
looked
to
see
if
the
Nurse
had
moved
,
for
there
was
a
feeling
as
though
some
one
were
near
me
.
Nurse
Kennedy
sat
in
her
place
,
as
steady
and
alert
as
ever
;
and
I
came
back
to
my
book
again
.
723
The
narrative
went
on
to
tell
how
,
after
passing
for
several
days
through
the
mountains
to
the
east
of
Aswan
,
the
explorer
came
to
a
certain
place
.
Here
I
give
his
own
words
,
simply
putting
the
translation
into
modern
English
:

"
Toward
evening
we
came
to
the
entrance
of
a
narrow
,
deep
valley
,
running
east
and
west
.
I
wished
to
proceed
through
this
;
for
the
sun
,
now
nearly
down
on
the
horizon
,
showed
a
wide
opening
beyond
the
narrowing
of
the
cliffs
.
But
the
fellaheen
absolutely
refused
to
enter
the
valley
at
such
a
time
,
alleging
that
they
might
be
caught
by
the
night
before
they
could
emerge
from
the
other
end
.
At
first
they
would
give
no
reason
for
their
fear
.
They
had
hitherto
gone
anywhere
I
wished
,
and
at
any
time
,
without
demur
.
On
being
pressed
,
however
,
they
said
that
the
place
was
the
Valley
of
the
Sorcerer
,
where
none
might
come
in
the
night
.
On
being
asked
to
tell
of
the
Sorcerer
,
they
refused
,
saying
that
there
was
no
name
,
and
that
they
knew
nothing
.
On
the
next
morning
,
however
,
when
the
sun
was
up
and
shining
down
the
valley
,
their
fears
had
somewhat
passed
away
.
725
Then
they
told
me
that
a
great
Sorcerer
in
ancient
days
--
'm
illions
of
millions
of
years
'
was
the
term
they
used
--
a
King
or
a
Queen
,
they
could
not
say
which
,
was
buried
there
.
They
could
not
give
the
name
,
persisting
to
the
last
that
there
was
no
name
;
and
that
anyone
who
should
name
it
would
waste
away
in
life
so
that
at
death
nothing
of
him
would
remain
to
be
raised
again
in
the
Other
World
.
In
passing
through
the
valley
they
kept
together
in
a
cluster
,
hurrying
on
in
front
of
me
.
None
dared
to
remain
behind
.
They
gave
,
as
their
reason
for
so
proceeding
,
that
the
arms
of
the
Sorcerer
were
long
,
and
that
it
was
dangerous
to
be
the
last
.
The
which
was
of
little
comfort
to
me
who
of
this
necessity
took
that
honourable
post
.
In
the
narrowest
part
of
the
valley
,
on
the
south
side
,
was
a
great
cliff
of
rock
,
rising
sheer
,
of
smooth
and
even
surface
.
Hereon
were
graven
certain
cabalistic
signs
,
and
many
figures
of
men
and
animals
,
fishes
,
reptiles
and
birds
;
suns
and
stars
;
and
many
quaint
symbols
.
Some
of
these
latter
were
disjointed
limbs
and
features
,
such
as
arms
and
legs
,
fingers
,
eyes
,
noses
,
ears
,
and
lips
.
Mysterious
symbols
which
will
puzzle
the
Recording
Angel
to
interpret
at
the
Judgment
Day
.
The
cliff
faced
exactly
north
.
There
was
something
about
it
so
strange
,
and
so
different
from
the
other
carved
rocks
which
I
had
visited
,
that
I
called
a
halt
and
spent
the
day
in
examining
the
rock
front
as
well
as
I
could
with
my
telescope
.
The
Egyptians
of
my
company
were
terribly
afraid
,
and
used
every
kind
of
persuasion
to
induce
me
to
pass
on
.
726
I
stayed
till
late
in
the
afternoon
,
by
which
time
I
had
failed
to
make
out
aright
the
entry
of
any
tomb
,
for
I
suspected
that
such
was
the
purpose
of
the
sculpture
of
the
rock
.
By
this
time
the
men
were
rebellious
;
and
I
had
to
leave
the
valley
if
I
did
not
wish
my
whole
retinue
to
desert
.
But
I
secretly
made
up
my
mind
to
discover
the
tomb
,
and
explore
it
.
To
this
end
I
went
further
into
the
mountains
,
where
I
met
with
an
Arab
Sheik
who
was
willing
to
take
service
with
me
.
The
Arabs
were
not
bound
by
the
same
superstitious
fears
as
the
Egyptians
;
Sheik
Abu
Some
and
his
following
were
willing
to
take
a
part
in
the
explorations
.
727
"
When
I
returned
to
the
valley
with
these
Bedouins
,
I
made
effort
to
climb
the
face
of
the
rock
,
but
failed
,
it
being
of
one
impenetrable
smoothness
.
The
stone
,
generally
flat
and
smooth
by
nature
,
had
been
chiselled
to
completeness
.
That
there
had
been
projecting
steps
was
manifest
,
for
there
remained
,
untouched
by
the
wondrous
climate
of
that
strange
land
,
the
marks
of
saw
and
chisel
and
mallet
where
the
steps
had
been
cut
or
broken
away
.

"
Being
thus
baffled
of
winning
the
tomb
from
below
,
and
being
unprovided
with
ladders
to
scale
,
I
found
a
way
by
much
circuitous
journeying
to
the
top
of
the
cliff
.
Thence
I
caused
myself
to
be
lowered
by
ropes
,
till
I
had
investigated
that
portion
of
the
rock
face
wherein
I
expected
to
find
the
opening
.
I
found
that
there
was
an
entrance
,
closed
however
by
a
great
stone
slab
.
This
was
cut
in
the
rock
more
than
a
hundred
feet
up
,
being
two-thirds
the
height
of
the
cliff
.
729
The
hieroglyphic
and
cabalistic
symbols
cut
in
the
rock
were
so
managed
as
to
disguise
it
.
The
cutting
was
deep
,
and
was
continued
through
the
rock
and
the
portals
of
the
doorway
,
and
through
the
great
slab
which
formed
the
door
itself
.
This
was
fixed
in
place
with
such
incredible
exactness
that
no
stone
chisel
or
cutting
implement
which
I
had
with
me
could
find
a
lodgment
in
the
interstices
.
I
used
much
force
,
however
;
and
by
many
heavy
strokes
won
a
way
into
the
tomb
,
for
such
I
found
it
to
be
.
The
stone
door
having
fallen
into
the
entrance
I
passed
over
it
into
the
tomb
,
noting
as
I
went
a
long
iron
chain
which
hung
coiled
on
a
bracket
close
to
the
doorway
.
730
"
The
tomb
I
found
to
be
complete
,
after
the
manner
of
the
finest
Egyptian
tombs
,
with
chamber
and
shaft
leading
down
to
the
corridor
,
ending
in
the
Mummy
Pit
.
It
had
the
table
of
pictures
,
which
seems
some
kind
of
record
--
whose
meaning
is
now
for
ever
lost
--
graven
in
a
wondrous
colour
on
a
wondrous
stone
.
