Within
,
there
was
another
rope
hanging
into
the
shaft
of
the
Mummy
Pit
.
We
looked
at
each
other
;
but
neither
said
a
word
.
We
fixed
our
own
rope
,
and
as
arranged
Trelawny
descended
first
,
I
following
at
once
.
It
was
not
till
we
stood
together
at
the
foot
of
the
shaft
that
the
thought
flashed
across
me
that
we
might
be
in
some
sort
of
a
trap
;
that
someone
might
descend
the
rope
from
the
cliff
,
and
by
cutting
the
rope
by
which
we
had
lowered
ourselves
into
the
Pit
,
bury
us
there
alive
.
The
thought
was
horrifying
;
but
it
was
too
late
to
do
anything
.
I
remained
silent
.
We
both
had
torches
,
so
that
there
was
ample
light
as
we
passed
through
the
passage
and
entered
the
Chamber
where
the
sarcophagus
had
stood
.
The
first
thing
noticeable
was
the
emptiness
of
the
place
.
Despite
all
its
magnificent
adornment
,
the
tomb
was
made
a
desolation
by
the
absence
of
the
great
sarcophagus
,
to
hold
which
it
was
hewn
in
the
rock
;
of
the
chest
with
the
alabaster
jars
;
of
the
tables
which
had
held
the
implements
and
food
for
the
use
of
the
dead
,
and
the
ushaptiu
figures
.
"
It
was
made
more
infinitely
desolate
still
by
the
shrouded
figure
of
the
mummy
of
Queen
Tera
which
lay
on
the
floor
where
the
great
sarcophagus
had
stood
!
Beside
it
lay
,
in
the
strange
contorted
attitudes
of
violent
death
,
three
of
the
Arabs
who
had
deserted
from
our
party
.
Their
faces
were
black
,
and
their
hands
and
necks
were
smeared
with
blood
which
had
burst
from
mouth
and
nose
and
eyes
.
"
On
the
throat
of
each
were
the
marks
,
now
blackening
,
of
a
hand
of
seven
fingers
"
Trelawny
and
I
drew
close
,
and
clutched
each
other
in
awe
and
fear
as
we
looked
.
"
For
,
most
wonderful
of
all
,
across
the
breast
of
the
mummied
Queen
lay
a
hand
of
seven
fingers
,
ivory
white
,
the
wrist
only
showing
a
scar
like
a
jagged
red
line
,
from
which
seemed
to
depend
drops
of
blood
.
"
"
When
we
recovered
our
amazement
,
which
seemed
to
last
unduly
long
,
we
did
not
lose
any
time
carrying
the
mummy
through
the
passage
,
and
hoisting
it
up
the
Pit
shaft
.
I
went
first
,
to
receive
it
at
the
top
.
As
I
looked
down
,
I
saw
Mr.
Trelawny
lift
the
severed
hand
and
put
it
in
his
breast
,
manifestly
to
save
it
from
being
injured
or
lost
.
We
left
the
dead
Arabs
where
they
lay
.
With
our
ropes
we
lowered
our
precious
burden
to
the
ground
;
and
then
took
it
to
the
entrance
of
the
valley
where
our
escort
was
to
wait
.
To
our
astonishment
we
found
them
on
the
move
.
When
we
remonstrated
with
the
Sheik
,
he
answered
that
he
had
fulfilled
his
contract
to
the
letter
;
he
had
waited
the
three
days
as
arranged
.
I
thought
that
he
was
lying
to
cover
up
his
base
intention
of
deserting
us
;
and
I
found
when
we
compared
notes
that
Trelawny
had
the
same
suspicion
.
It
was
not
till
we
arrived
at
Cairo
that
we
found
he
was
correct
.
It
was
the
3rd
of
November
1884
when
we
entered
the
Mummy
Pit
for
the
second
time
;
we
had
reason
to
remember
the
date
.
"
We
had
lost
three
whole
days
of
our
reckoning
--
out
of
our
lives
--
whilst
we
had
stood
wondering
in
that
chamber
of
the
dead
.
Was
it
strange
,
then
,
that
we
had
a
superstitious
feeling
with
regard
to
the
dead
Queen
Tera
and
all
belonging
to
her
?
Is
it
any
wonder
that
it
rests
with
us
now
,
with
a
bewildering
sense
of
some
power
outside
ourselves
or
our
comprehension
?
Will
it
be
any
wonder
if
it
go
down
to
the
grave
with
us
at
the
appointed
time
?
If
,
indeed
,
there
be
any
graves
for
us
who
have
robbed
the
dead
!
"
He
was
silent
for
quite
a
minute
before
he
went
on
:
"
We
got
to
Cairo
all
right
,
and
from
there
to
Alexandria
,
where
we
were
to
take
ship
by
the
Messagerie
service
to
Marseilles
,
and
go
thence
by
express
to
London
