When
you
are
in
the
tomb
,
examine
this
spot
.
There
is
probably
some
spring
or
mechanical
contrivance
for
opening
the
receptacle
.
What
it
may
be
,
there
is
no
use
guessing
.
You
will
know
what
best
to
do
,
when
you
are
on
the
spot
.

"
I
started
the
next
week
for
Egypt
;
and
never
rested
till
I
stood
again
in
the
tomb
.
I
had
found
some
of
our
old
following
;
and
was
fairly
well
provided
with
help
.
The
country
was
now
in
a
condition
very
different
to
that
in
which
it
had
been
sixteen
years
before
;
there
was
no
need
for
troops
or
armed
men
.
"
I
climbed
the
rock
face
alone
.
There
was
no
difficulty
,
for
in
that
fine
climate
the
woodwork
of
the
ladder
was
still
dependable
.
It
was
easy
to
see
that
in
the
years
that
had
elapsed
there
had
been
other
visitors
to
the
tomb
;
and
my
heart
sank
within
me
when
I
thought
that
some
of
them
might
by
chance
have
come
across
the
secret
place
.
It
would
be
a
bitter
discovery
indeed
to
find
that
they
had
forestalled
me
;
and
that
my
journey
had
been
in
vain
.
"
The
bitterness
was
realised
when
I
lit
my
torches
,
and
passed
between
the
seven-sided
columns
to
the
Chapel
of
the
tomb
.
"
There
,
in
the
very
spot
where
I
had
expected
to
find
it
,
was
the
opening
of
a
serdab
.
And
the
serdab
was
empty
.
"
But
the
Chapel
was
not
empty
;
for
the
dried-up
body
of
a
man
in
Arab
dress
lay
close
under
the
opening
,
as
though
he
had
been
stricken
down
.
I
examined
all
round
the
walls
to
see
if
Trelawny
's
surmise
was
correct
;
and
I
found
that
in
all
the
positions
of
the
stars
as
given
,
the
Pointers
of
the
Plough
indicated
a
spot
to
the
left
hand
,
or
south
side
,
of
the
opening
of
the
serdab
,
where
was
a
single
star
in
gold
.
"
I
pressed
this
,
and
it
gave
way
.
The
stone
which
had
marked
the
front
of
the
serdab
,
and
which
lay
back
against
the
wall
within
,
moved
slightly
.
On
further
examining
the
other
side
of
the
opening
,
I
found
a
similar
spot
,
indicated
by
other
representations
of
the
constellation
;
but
this
was
itself
a
figure
of
the
seven
stars
,
and
each
was
wrought
in
burnished
gold
.
I
pressed
each
star
in
turn
;
but
without
result
.
Then
it
struck
me
that
if
the
opening
spring
was
on
the
left
,
this
on
the
right
might
have
been
intended
for
the
simultaneous
pressure
of
all
the
stars
by
one
hand
of
seven
fingers
.
By
using
both
my
hands
,
I
managed
to
effect
this
.
"
With
a
loud
click
,
a
metal
figure
seemed
to
dart
from
close
to
the
opening
of
the
serdab
;
the
stone
slowly
swung
back
to
its
place
,
and
shut
with
a
click
.
The
glimpse
which
I
had
of
the
descending
figure
appalled
me
for
the
moment
.
It
was
like
that
grim
guardian
which
,
according
to
the
Arabian
historian
Ibn
Abd
Alhokin
,
the
builder
of
the
Pyramids
,
King
Saurid
Ibn
Salhouk
placed
in
the
Western
Pyramid
to
defend
its
treasure
:
'
A
marble
figure
,
upright
,
with
lance
in
hand
;
with
on
his
head
a
serpent
wreathed
.
When
any
approached
,
the
serpent
would
bite
him
on
one
side
,
and
twining
about
his
throat
and
killing
him
,
would
return
again
to
his
place
.
